In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:

• Action over perfection
• Decide with intention
• Confidence is built, not found
• Leadership requires a bold presence

Key Takeaways:

• Progress comes from movement, not waiting for the “perfect” moment. Imperfect action beats polished hesitation every time.
• Indecision drains momentum. Strong leaders make conscious choices, understanding that not deciding is, in itself, a decision.
• Consistency breeds belief. Confidence grows through repeated effort, not through external validation or passive preparation.
• True leadership means showing up, even in fear. Leading isn’t about feeling ready—it’s about choosing to rise and move forward.

"Done is better than perfect. Forward is better than frozen." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• You can grow your confidence
• Stretch yourself to grow
• Honor your promises to yourself
• Carry your energy like a leader
• Build confidence through action

Key Takeaways:

• It isn’t something you either have or don’t—it’s a skill you can strengthen with practice and intention.
• Every bold step you take outside your comfort zone is a rep for your confidence muscle.
• Every small commitment you keep is a deposit into your confidence account—proof to yourself that you can be trusted.
• How you show up—your posture, your tone, your presence—shapes how others see you and how you see yourself.
• You don’t wait to feel confident; you create it by showing up consistently, even when it’s hard.

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• The myth of managing time
• Energy management is critical
• Setting boundaries
• Indicators of stress

Key Takeaways:

• Stress isn't about managing time, but about emotional weight and self-imposed pressure. Remember that your worth is not tied to productivity.
• Humans have natural energy rhythms, unlike machines. Listen to your body's energy cycles. Align work with peak energy levels instead of rigid time blocking.
• Stress comes from a lack of boundaries, not a lack of time. Learn to say no and protect your energy. Boundaries are bridges to protect your well-being, not selfish acts.
• Check your energy levels when feeling stressed. Identify where you're "leaking energy" in your day. Common energy drains include checking emails constantly, people pleasing, saying yes when you mean no, and feeling guilty during rest.

"Time management is only surface level... what we need to focus on is below the surface, the real iceberg, which is the expectations, the self-judgment, and the pressure beneath it all." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Stress is a signal, not a status symbol
• Check your inner expectations
• Progress over perfection
• Let go to move forward

Key Takeaways:

• If you're feeling overwhelmed, it's not because you're weak; it's because something needs care. Pay attention to what your stress is trying to tell you.
• It's not always the to-do list that drains you, it’s the pressure you put on yourself. Ask: What am I expecting of myself that no one else is?
• You don’t need perfect conditions to move forward. The real win is in starting, learning, and growing as you go.
• Success isn’t about doing more, it’s about releasing what’s weighing you down. Let go so that you can move forward.

"You don't need to do more to feel better. You need to release what's weighing you down." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Confidence growth comes from within
• Factors that hold women entrepreneurs back
• How to build confidence
• The power of creating your own validation

Key Takeaways:

• Confidence is a skill, not a fixed trait. It can be developed through action and practice, and is based on your belief in your own abilities and self-worth, not external validation.
• Women entrepreneurs often make the mistake of waiting for permission from others (clients, mentors, family) before taking action, which holds them back from success.
• Action builds confidence. Taking bold steps, even when you don't feel completely ready, helps you grow and develop self-assurance. The more you do something, the more confident you become.
• Create your own validation through a "confidence wins journal" by documenting your achievements, risks taken, and challenges overcome. This helps train your brain to recognize your own power and capabilities.

"The only validation you need is the results you create, not other people's opinion." — Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Finances are about more than just money
• Defining your core soul needs
• Retirement is a part of the journey
• Pursue your passions, live without regrets

Key Takeaways:

• Your finances are not just about money, but an integral part of your life and how you engage with the world. Focus on understanding your identity, beliefs, and values to align your finances with your life goals and dreams.
• Explore the concept of "core soul needs" - your identity, life purpose, love, and peace - and how they relate to your financial planning. Aim to maximize your enjoyment and fulfillment in life, not just your financial security.
• View retirement as a stage in life, not a destination. Develop identities and personal growth outside of your career, so you don't retire into a void of identity.
• Live your dreams and don't live with regrets. Take on the challenge to "play your horn" and pursue your passions.

"Live your dream. Don't live with regrets, chase that dream, set that dream, establish that dream, and realize that dream.." — Len Hayduchok

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Pursuing goals without neglecting relationships
• Don’t treat relationships like projects
• The key to meaningful relationships
• Vulnerability and authenticity strengthen connections with loved ones

Key Takeaways:

• High achievers often neglect quality time and emotional connection in their relationships due to a focus on professional goals.
• Treating relationships like a project rather than nurturing them can lead to a transactional approach. The book "Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" is recommended to help reconnect with a partner.
• Scheduling emotional check-ins and being present at the moment are important for maintaining meaningful relationships.
• Practicing emotional vulnerability and authenticity, rather than projecting strength and control, can help build deeper connections with loved ones.

"Relationships are not checklists of things to complete. They're more like a garden that requires nurturing. You gotta go pull the weeds out, prune the trees, water it, fertilize it. You gotta spend time in the garden if you want to get fruits and flowers."

In this episode, Chabidaye discuss:

• Strengthening your connection
• Positive balance in your relationship bank account
• How the mirror effect works
• Taking intentional steps to reconnect and strengthen relationships

Key Takeaways:

• Diagnose and actively reconnect with important people when you feel the relationship connection weakening, similar to a poor Wi-Fi signal. Spend quality time and genuinely listen to them.
• Maintain a positive balance in your emotional "relationship bank account" by making daily deposits through expressions of gratitude, texts, and quality time. This prevents the account from becoming overdrawn.
• The energy and positivity you bring into a relationship can have a "mirror effect", causing others to reflect that same energy back. Showing up with vibrant energy can shift the dynamics.
• Small, intentional steps to reconnect and strengthen important relationships can make your life richer and more meaningful. Don't wait for the perfect time, take action now.

"If you show up with vibrant, positive energy, they're gonna reflect the same thing back to you."
