We've been told that time is our most valuable resource. But what if we've been focusing on the wrong currency all along? The truth is that we have a resource far more important than time. It's our energy that actually determines what we accomplish – and how we feel doing it. The breakthrough comes when we stop asking "Do I have time?" and start asking "Where is my energy going?" Today on The Bridge to Fulfillment®, Blake challenges the belief that time is our most valuable resource. She reveals why energy is a far more valuable asset, and shares how you can begin to align your energy with your goals to gain better focus and more clarity. In this episode, you'll learn why time and money can't solve the root issues of feeling depleted or unfocused. You'll start to understand your personal energy fingerprint and how to apply sharper focus to the things that truly matter to you. You'll also learn a simple exercise to pinpoint how your energy reserves are being spent so you can start to unravel the lies that are keeping you stuck. If you're ready to start protecting your most valuable resource to reclaim your life, then this episode is for you. What You'll Learn: Why energy is more important than time (0:50) Our energy expenditure is personal (2:26) Signs that you're not using your energy properly (3:00) An easy way to start gaining traction in your life (4:02) The lies that keep you trapped (5:05) Favorite Quotes: “Most of us are unaware of how we're using our energy, the things that are giving us energy or draining energy, and whether we are appropriately focusing our energy on the things that will be most meaningful and most impactful.” “Each one of us is individually wired uniquely in terms of how to best use and leverage our energy to create results.” “By becoming more aware of where your focus is and where you're placing your energy, you can begin to see areas that are actually giving you life, giving you more passion, more energy, more focus, more impact. And you can also see the areas in your life that are draining you and pulling you away from what it is that you want.” “You have so much more power to create change in your life than you believe.” Additional Resources: For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

You ever have those supercharged days where you feel really proactive about your time and tasks? You know, those days that seem to leave a profound imprint on the way you do things in the future because you decided to kick ass TODAY. The mornings you feel ready to tackle the day ahead without grumpily dragging your feet through some imaginary mud you made in your own mind. Is this the day you'll allow this podcast to shift your mindset into positive overdrive and accomplish all you need to get done with spare change to go play with?Far too often, we put ourselves in positions that we tend to end up absorbing the negative energy others around us are putting out into the world. You know those people, the ones who will always have something to complain about regardless of what is said or done for their sake. Why do we then find it so hard to enjoy and absorb the goodness that we can instead choose to focus on and intake with overflowing abundance? It's critical for growth to protect your own energy and mind with a fervor nobody else could ever have but for themselves. Your influence is pushed onto others, whether that is calmness or chaos, you choose what you push out. What example do you want to set as a role model for them, for your children, when you choose your reactions to be based on emotions or reason? Do you really want to be the one to carry someone else's negativity with you all day, only to bring it home and unload the damage onto your loved ones? You have to be the one to preserve what's yours and protect what you know always.

Self-confidence is the foundation of effective leadership, yet it's one of the most misunderstood skills. In this episode, Karen explores the critical difference between confidence and self-confidence, shares powerful personal and client stories, and provides practical strategies to help you trust yourself, navigate uncertainty, and grow as a leader. If you're ready to build unshakable belief in your abilities, this episode is for you.5 Key TakeawaysConfidence vs. Self-Confidence: Confidence relies on external factors such as experience, knowledge, and validation, making it situational and context-dependent. In contrast, self-confidence is an internal belief in your abilities and worth, regardless of external circumstances. It provides the resilience to navigate challenges and uncertainty, allowing you to trust yourself even when facing new situations.Reframe Failure: Failure is not the opposite of success but an essential part of the growth process. By reframing failure as an opportunity to learn and improve, you can shift your mindset and approach challenges with greater resilience. Reflecting on setbacks and identifying lessons learned strengthens your leadership skills and builds your confidence over time.Master Your Inner Dialogue: Your thoughts directly impact how you feel and act as a leader. Negative self-talk, such as doubting your abilities or fearing failure, can undermine your confidence. Replacing these thoughts with empowering beliefs like "I trust myself to figure this out" or "I am capable of growing through challenges" helps cultivate a positive, confident mindset.Celebrate Small Wins: Recognizing and celebrating progress, no matter how small, is crucial for building self-confidence. Keeping a confidence journal where you regularly note your accomplishments provides tangible evidence of your abilities and reminds you of your growth. This practice shifts your focus from what you lack to what you've achieved.Practical Exercises for Confidence Building: Building self-confidence requires intentional effort and practice. Exercises like a thought download—where you write down current thoughts about yourself as a leader and reframe limiting ones—can help you identify and replace self-doubt. Pair this with practicing empowering thoughts daily, such as writing them on sticky notes or reminders, to reinforce your belief in your capabilities."You already have what it takes to lead with confidence. The key is believing in your abilities and trusting yourself to grow through every challenge." – Karen GombaultSelf-confidence isn't a trait you're born with; it's a skill you can develop. By reframing failure, mastering your thoughts, and celebrating wins, you can create a foundation of trust in yourself that fuels intentional leadership. Take a few minutes today to reflect on your inner dialogue and start building the self-confidence you deserve.Karen is a leadership coach and mentor, working with recently promoted women to help them stop doubting and start leading.Further resources: Free resource: 5 Simple Ways to Protect Your Energy for busy leaders: www.karengombault.com/energyMore information about coaching services here: Work With MeFollow along on LinkedIn: (13) Karen Gombault | LinkedInEmail me at Karen@karengombault.com
The Bad Apple Effect: How One Negative Influence Can Shift Your Mindset (and How to Stop It) Episode Description: We've all heard the saying, “One bad apple spoils the bunch,” but have you ever considered how true it really is? This episode dives into the Bad Apple Effect, a psychological phenomenon that explains how negativity spreads within groups and how it impacts your mindset and behavior. Backed by research and actionable strategies, we explore why negative people are so dangerous to your mental health, how to recognize their influence, and most importantly, how to break free and protect your energy. Whether you're feeling drained by the people around you or simply looking to maintain a positive outlook, this episode will give you the tools you need to reclaim your happiness and focus on growth.
SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are embracing the art of saying no as we get better at setting boundaries to protect our energy. Have you ever caught yourself nodding yes before you've even heard the question? Like, ‘Can you…?' and there it is—‘Sure!' Before you know it, you're knee-deep in a commitment you never wanted. Let's face it—saying no can feel like the ultimate guilty pleasure. We're so conditioned to be helpful, agreeable, and superhuman that declining a request feels like we're letting the world down. But guess what? Protecting your energy isn't just okay—it's essential! In this episode, we're diving into the art of saying no, not as a rejection but as a way to honor yourself, your values, and your time. We'll explore what boundaries really mean, why they matter, and how to say no without the guilt trip. So let's use t hat overcommitted superhero cape for some well-deserved boundaries and exploring how to protect your precious energy. It's time to take back your power, one polite decline at a time! Let's start by getting on the same page about what we mean when we talk about boundaries. No, we're not talking about fences or “Do Not Enter” signs—although sometimes those might feel necessary! Boundaries, in this context, are the invisible lines we draw to define what's okay and not okay for us. They're like the personal rules of engagement for how we let others interact with our time, energy, and emotions. Think about it: we all have a limited amount of energy each day. It's like a rechargeable battery, but unlike your phone, there's no power bank to save you when you're at 1%. So, when you're constantly saying yes—whether it's agreeing to bake 200 cookies for the school fundraiser, staying late at work for the fifth time this week, or playing therapist to your overly dramatic friend—you're draining that battery. And let's be real, once it's gone, it's gone. That's why boundaries are so important—they help us protect and prioritize our energy. But here's the tricky part: why is it so hard to say no? For many of us, it's because we don't want to disappoint others. We crave approval, we want to be liked, and sometimes we just want to avoid the awkwardness of conflict. So we end up overcommitting, stretching ourselves too thin, and feeling resentful—or worse, burnt out. Let's flip the script. Saying no doesn't make you selfish; it makes you smart. Think of boundaries as your personalized life GPS, directing you toward the things that matter most and steering you away from unnecessary detours. They help you stay focused, reduce stress, and create stronger, more respectful relationships. And here's a bonus: setting boundaries can actually improve your relationships. How? Because people know where they stand with you, and that clarity builds trust. When you say yes, they'll know you genuinely mean it, and that makes your commitment even more valuable. So, let's embrace this idea of boundaries not as barriers but as bridges to a more intentional, energized life. Up next, we'll explore how to actually do this—and trust me, it doesn't involve wearing a “No Thanks” T-shirt, although that could be a fun start!” Sian Ferguson confesses I'm a People Pleaser Who Tried Saying "No" to Everything for a Week—Here's What Happened found at Very Well Mind On Self, Jenna Ryu gives us (or me) 5 Little Ways to Practice Setting Boundaries If You're a Recovering People Pleaser No worries, help's on the way. On Terri Cole's YouTube Channel, I found Saying "No" Without Justifying or Over-Explaining CHALLENGE: Protect your energy by setting boundaries that reflect your values. The next time you're asked to overextend yourself, pause, reflect, and give yourself permission to say no. Remember, every ‘no' you say to something that drains you is a ‘yes' to something that fuels you. I Know YOU Can Do It!
