“We don’t light candles because we’re ready. We light them because it’s time.”

What if energy isn’t something you wait for—but something you create?

In this episode, Chanie opens up about walking through profound personal grief while still leading a team, running a business, and showing up for others. She explores the surprising shift that helped her lead from a place of clarity, even when she felt completely depleted—and why great leadership is anchored not in energy reserves, but in energy rituals.

Key takeaways:

• Why energy is something you cultivate, not just conserve
• The difference between building systems and building rituals that restore your capacity
• How leadership becomes unsustainable when it's only powered by your mood or mental “tank”
• What rituals actually do for your nervous system—and why they matter more than you think
• Why consistency—not spontaneity—is what builds trust, safety, and longevity in your leadership
