What if your body became a place of peace instead of pressure?

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Victoria L. PonTell, nurse educator and author of 7 Keys to Unlocking Your Radiant Beauty, shares her journey from body shame and people pleasing to seeing her body as God’s gift.

She explains how control once felt like safety, how disordered patterns quietly formed, and how a decisive moment of surrender shifted her from rule driven living to spirit led stewardship.

We explore her seven keys to radiant beauty, aligning thoughts with truth, nourishing with grace, moving with wisdom, reframing comparison, and honouring sexuality as sacred stewardship. This is not about dieting. It is about identity.

Victoria also unpacks the science of stress and body awareness. When we live in fight or flight, clarity fades. When spirit leads, the mind aligns, and the body follows with peace.

If you are ready to stop striving and start stewarding your body with faith and wisdom, this episode offers both insight and practical steps.

Shame often keeps capable, faith-driven people stuck, not because they lack discipline, but because shame operates at the level of identity and the nervous system.

In this episode of the Lead To Excel Podcast, Maureen explores how shame functions as a stress response in the brain, how condemnation shuts down growth, and how grace restores identity and creates the safety required for real change.

Inspired by Day 106, Overcoming Shame, from my book - Rewire Your Brain with Neuroscience and Scripture Every Day, this episode integrates neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and Romans 8:1 to offer practical, grounded steps for rewiring shame and moving forward with clarity and courage.

Many people think they need better discipline or clearer goals, but the real issue is identity.

In this episode of the Lead To Excel Podcast, Maureen Chiana explores how unclear identity leads to constant negotiation of boundaries, emotions, and worth, and how Scripture, neuroscience, and lived leadership experience show a better way.

If you’re ready to lead from identity, think clearly under pressure, and stop negotiating your life, this conversation is for you.

Are you busy doing the right things — or just busy being busy? 

In this episode of the Lead To Excel Podcast, Maureen Chiana explores the difference between survival busyness (working just to pay bills, juggling endless tasks) and purposeful living that aligns with God’s calling.

Drawing from neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and scripture, Maureen unpacks why your brain craves activity, how fear fuels over-commitment, and why not every good thing is the right thing. She also shares her own story of being “busy but empty” — and the turning point that helped her pause, reset, and re-align with purpose.

You’ll walk away with practical steps to stop spinning your wheels and start excelling in business, leadership, and life with clarity and transformation.

In this episode, I unpack a powerful truth many avoid: sometimes, the delay we experience after prayer isn’t spiritual — it’s internal.

Using a blend of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, mindset, and scripture, she explores the hidden reasons we stay stuck, even when we’ve prayed, planned, and believed.

You’ll discover:

• Why procrastination is often rooted in fear, not laziness
• How emotional patterns and brain wiring sabotage answered prayers
• The impact of seeking validation and lacking support
• What the Bible teaches us about fear, resistance, and bold action
• And how to finally move — with faith and emotional alignment

This is for anyone who’s prayed for more, sensed God’s “yes,” but still can’t seem to step forward.

✨ Don’t just be inspired — be activated.

Prepare yourself to journey through the intricate layers of identity, purpose, and success, specifically designed to empower black women, but universally beneficial for anyone seeking growth. I unravel the gift of identity, spotlighting the necessity of owning our narratives and strengths. The conversation takes a deep dive into how our upbringing and cultural exposure mould our values, and how these values, in turn, shape our lives.
The crucial aspect? Taking time to reflect, to ensure our values lead us towards the path we desire.

But there's more. I venture further into the realms of mental well-being and self-empowerment. In the hustle of daily routines, we often forget the vitality of nourishing our minds, of being intentional about our desires, and of managing expectations during challenging times.
Interweaving personal experiences and professional insights, I, demonstrate how these elements of self-empowerment are deeply linked to our mental well-being.

The crux of this episode is understanding the power within us, loving ourselves first, and strutting confidently in our purpose.
Embark on this empowering conversation with me, aimed at nurturing our identity, uncovering our purpose, and defining success on our own terms.

Ever been rejected and felt like the world was ending? I've been there! After a significant job rejection, I figured it was God's way of saying I was meant to go solo. Thus, spurned by rejection, my journey towards launching The Mindsight Academy started. Join me, Maureen Chiana, as I share my experience and the profound lesson that rejection is indeed a gift. Through emotional intelligence, scriptures, and neuro-leadership, we'll unlock the potential in our painful experiences and turn them into catalysts for growth.

Citing scriptural narratives like Joseph's life, this episode explores his transformation from a rejected boy to a revered figure.

Here is wishing you a very happy, joyous, intentional and successful 2023.

This episode is to inspire you to be uncomfortable being comfortable.
Everyone aspires to be good, but few are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness.

Many people place more value on being nice in order to be liked, but make 2023 the year you become whoever you want to be because You Can.

There is no quick fix; the only way to gain knowledge is through practice, experience, and making mistakes.

I hope this podcast pushes you to accomplish the impossible this year.

As we draw to the end of 2022 and many are beginning to think about new goals, it's essential to pause and self-reflect.
It's about learning, looking back on the last year (without bias or regret) to contemplate your behavior and its consequences.
You can only be at the "top of your game when you learn how to engage the future from your past experiences.

Humans have the propensity to use logic and reason to predict what will happen next based on what has already happened. Self-reflection helps to prevent stress and deal with surprises when our predictions are wrong, or incorrect assumptions are made.

Self-reflection provides opportunities for improvement, change, innovation, communication, problem-solving, and patience.

The wisdom gained and the impact on Nadine from being brought up by her grandmother.
She explains why prayer is so important to her and why she teaches it.
Another focus of Nadine is the importance of living a life of purpose.

How her grandmother's impact led to how she learned to seek God for every decision she has made

This Podcast will challenge you as a Christian to truly live a limitless life by learning to seek God's will in every aspect of your life.
She talks about the basics of how to pray effectively and how to discern God's voice because many people talk at God and believe they are praying.

Nadine has written many books on praying and explains that praying should be a conversation with God - not having a monologue.

Purpose is being truly intentional about how you live in this world - you have to learn how to pray effectively.

Purpose is always with you. It has been with you from conception

"Prayer is my number one business strategy"

In this podcast, I discuss the importance of developing a positive relationship with money.
Everyone has a relationship with money based on how we have been conditioned to think and act when it comes to money.

Your thoughts might be holding you back from achieving your goals or living the life you desire.
My desire is that this podcast will help you get out of your own way and overcome any money blocks you might have. I hope you are encouraged to dream bigger and most importantly, do the practical work to manifest your dreams.

• Are you concerned you won’t be able to afford the cost of college or career training for your children? 
• Are you confused about how to start saving for your children’s future? 
•  Do you want to sleep well at night knowing you’re doing the best you can to help the children in your life fulfill their dreams whatever they may be?
• If you are in the US, have you heard of 529 plans but don't understand exactly how they work?

In my podcast this week, I am joined by Patricia, a proud mom of a son, Ben, who graduated debt-free from Clark University in June 2021 and she has helped tens of thousands of families avoid millions of dollars in student loan debt over the past 23 years by sharing her expertise about planning ahead for post-secondary expenses.
 
Patricia held key legal and product management roles in the education savings divisions at Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and AllianceBernstein Investments and she designed and launched philanthropic programs, like NYC Kids RISE, through which families receive seed money for their children’s college savings accounts along with valuable financial education and incentives to save on their own. 

 In her current role as Chief Operating Officer at Gift of College, Inc., she encourages employers to help reduce employee stress associated with the high cost of higher education by offering matching contributions to 529 college savings plans as a financial wellness benefit. She also educates employers on how they can offer tax-free student loan assistance for employees thanks to some changes in late 2020 and educates them as well about the valuable role 529 ABLE plans can play for employees with disabilities or those, like herself, who have loved ones with disabilities.

In this episode, I go very personal as I share my experience of starting menopause very early and the challenges I have faced along the way.
Understanding menopause is very important for organizations to retain their best staff and to ensure that these women come to work and still be able to be high performers.

Making menopause an inclusive subject at work will make it much easier for people to talk about, without feeling embarrassed and enable women confidently ask for help and support when needed. It will also make more women prepared and not be taken by surprise like so many of us were.

Maybe you have experienced not being able to speak or think straight when being criticised by your manager or when under some form of pressure at work.

In this weeks Podcast, I discuss the reasons why you  freeze when under pressure and what you can do to remain calm, effective and still motivate your people.

Our brains threat response is activated by our external environment causing our body to respond in the flight, fright or freeze response, which cause many leaders performance to decline and can trigger a vicious cycle of self-doubt, self-blame, shame, guilt, even fear, making it all the more likely that you’ll freeze again when you encounter a similar situation.

But, there is hope! There are things you can do to stay alert and effective under pressure and this is a skill every leader needs.

Happy International Women's Day!
I'm so excited to bring this podcast on 'Breaking The Bias'.

We have been socialized to view leadership as a man’s domain and women have been expected to just fit into this model whilst still maintaining her femininity and crossing the stereotype line to excel as a leader but it's time to now create an equitable workplace that caters for all.

How can women navigate these biases and thrive?
I discuss some ways these can be achieved for the woman, for male allies and the responsibility that organizations have as well.

Have you ever wondered how to deal with office politics? Then go ahead and listen to the podcast.

“Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” —George Bernard Shaw

In our first episode of 2022, I challenge you to identify and create the life you want in 2022.
If you want to soar, you must understand yourself, understand how to navigate crisis and understand the external factors that affect your ability to soar, understand what makes you act and behave the way you do - for example, how do you respond or react to these external forces?
Make 2022 your best year yet by getting back into the drivers seat of your life and your leadership. Be the leader that cares about people in order to achieve the results you desire.
