After returning from Elevate in Nashville, I felt a powerful shift—and I knew I had to share it with you. In this episode, I walk you through the exact energy reset I used to go from navigating one of the most emotional seasons of my life—caring for my mom—to leading a room full of women with purpose and clarity.

I share the exact 4 D’s Framework I taught at Elevate—the same one that helped women in the room walk away not just with notes, but with real decisions that moved the needle in their business and life:

✨ Design your life and calendar
⚡ Direct your energy
🙌 Delegate what you don’t love
🎯 Decide your season and identity

It’s time to stop leaking energy and start making decisions that align with where you’re going—not where you’ve been.

This episode is your wake-up call.

Not all task, not all people or things on your to do lists are created equal. Energy management is leadership management. Are you leaking energy on things that don't move the needle? Are you stuck in procrastination? You stuck in perfectionism? Are you stuck in people pleasing or just always saying yes? So here's what I want you to think about is where does my energy need to go if I want to hit the next level? 

Welcome back to the Raquel show. This show is for entrepreneurs who want to play bigger in business and in life. And as many of you know that follow me on social, I just got back from elevate in Nashville and my gosh, is my heart full. You know those moments when you are reminded of why you do what you do. This is absolutely one of them. And in today's episode, I'm sharing the behind the scenes look at elevate. 

What it took to shift my energy from being deeply involved in my mom's care and navigating a very emotional season into showing up fully and leading with strength and clarity. What shifted in that room for many of us women that were there and why these spaces are so necessary for growth and my exact four part CEO power framework I shared with all the women to help them Elevate in business and in life. So if you are questioning your next move Wondering if you need a pivot or simply feeling disconnected from your power this episode is for you.

So let's dive in, first; I want to tell you a really quick story years ago I was running multiple companies raising two boys flying on airplanes chasing big goals, but something felt completely off I was productive but very disconnected I had all the systems, but not the space to reflect. And my calendar, believe it or not, was jam packed from 5 a.m. to midnight. I was working all time zones because I had teams across the country. 5 a.m. here was the start of a day in the East Coast because they started at 8 a.m. And then one day I realized I wasn't operating like a CEO. I was surviving like a solopreneur with very, very fancy titles. That's when I started creating my own framework to live by not just for scaling my business, but for scaling my life. And it's the same framework that I shared at Elevate that shifted so many women in the room. It was interesting because sometimes you think I'm just going to be present. And it was one of those talk where I didn't feel like I absolutely delivered. 

But when I heard everyone's takeaways, I'm like, wow,  It landed and it resonated. So that's why I want to share it with all of you. It's called the four D's of owning your CEO power. And I want to break it down. One is the first D is design your life and calendar, because if it's not in your calendar, it doesn't exist. And if you move it and erase it, you must replace it, right? Especially if it's one of those needle moving activities, are you reacting to your schedule or are you designing it with intention? Look at your week. What fills you up? What fuels you? What drains you? What would your future self remove? And my question for all of you is, is my calendar aligned with the life I want to live or the one I feel stuck in? Believe it or not, every so many months and every month, and sometimes now it goes to week, is I adjust my calendar. 

I move calls around because of my energy or because of my priorities, which leads me to number two is direct your energy is the second D not all task, not all people or things on your to do lists are created equal. Energy management is leadership management. Are you leaking energy on things that don't move the needle? Are you stuck in procrastination? Are you stuck in perfectionism? Are you stuck in people pleasing or just always saying yes? So here's what I want you to think about is where does my energy need to go if I want to hit the next level? And number three is delegate what you don't love. 

If you are doing $20 an hour task with 200 an hour goals, you are incongruent and you are out of alignment. That includes home, that includes business, and that includes emotional labor. You don't build a business alone, you build it with systems, you build it with support and self-respect. So here's one thing I'd ask myself is what's one thing I can delegate this week that would give me five plus hours back? 

And number four is decide your season in identity. This is about evolution. Are you in a season of planting? Are you in a season of building? Are you in a season of visibility? Or are you in a season of flow or rest? Because who you were is not who you are becoming. I'm going to say that again, because when you have bigger goals, who you were is not who you are becoming. 

Some of us have these big, big, big goals. Let's say for 2025, but we're still operating with 2024 habits or even 2023 habits. So here is the question for all of you. If you have that big goal, if it's eight figure, what would the eight figure version of me say yes to and what would she release? So here's the thing, the women, who left Elevate didn't just leave with notes. They left with decisions. And we actually talked about something called full decision, which is a whole nother topic. And it's a podcast within itself. But one person decided to quit her job so that she can make a full decision and go all in on real estate. Another one decided to hire leverage so that she could grow. We had just stories upon stories and action items on what they were all committed to. Another one decided to let go of somebody that she's been holding on to too long. She was great for the moment, but not great for where she was going. Why? Because clarity happens in conversation, but commitment happens in community. 

If you are craving clarity or stuck in a season of almost or I'll figure it out or I'll do it later or I'll build when I have X, Y, and Z. or you're ready to stop playing small, I wanna invite you to a VIP session with me in either Huntington Beach or in Scottsdale.
