We all have one—that invisible mute button that silences us when we should be speaking up.

In this powerful opening episode of UNMUTE BY DESIGN: Rising Through the Unknown, host Dr. Constance “C.J.” Leyland and co-host Susannah Dawn. We are here to uncover:

The hidden fears and beliefs that keep us from using our voices
How cultural and societal systems reinforce silence
Practical strategies to overcome fear, break the silence, and find your voice

This isn’t just about talking more—it’s about speaking with clarity, courage, and conviction.

💡 The Unmute Challenge: Before the episode, write down one belief that has been holding you back. Then flip the script—create a powerful counter-belief that moves you forward. Bring it with you to share (if you’re ready).

Join us as we rise through the unknown together and reclaim the power of our voices.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about navigating the storm of grief while managing the daily demands of running a business and living with ADHD.

ADHD and executive dysfunction under emotional distress

In this third episode, we discuss balancing struggles and strength and how to leverage our struggles into purpose and our adversity into clarity. Frida Kahlo said, "I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my reality." We don't need to live in the what-if situations; we need to live our current situation and find ways to overcome our adversity and turn it into purpose and passion.

In this episode, I talked about my conversation with one of my mental health advocates and a licensed therapist friend, who taught me mindset shifts that are eye-opening.

I provided a few strategies to channel our struggles into creativity.

So listen up. Email me at lua@levelupbydocleyland.com for any questions you may have.

Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.

Welcome, listeners, to today’s episode—a conversation about transformation, resilience, and the untapped potential within each of us. Every person has a story, and within those stories are moments that define who we are and who we can become. If you’ve ever felt like it’s too late to chase a dream, start fresh, or overcome a setback, let me remind you: your greatest chapter might still be unwritten.

Think about this—Colonel Sanders was 62 when he franchised his first KFC. Laura Ingalls Wilder published her first book at 65. Vera Wang launched her iconic fashion career at 40. These are people who didn’t let the clock define their success; instead, they let their determination rewrite their narratives.

Today, we’re not just talking about inspiring stories. We’re digging deeper into the actionable habits, mindsets, and strategies that fuel resilience and ignite transformation. Whether it’s finding purpose through creativity, building emotional resilience, or nourishing your mind and soul, this episode is about giving you tools to step into the person you’ve always wanted to be.

So, whether you’re driving to work, taking a break, or seeking inspiration, I invite you to tune in, reflect, and take notes. Let’s uncover the power of small, intentional choices that can lead to monumental change. Because here’s the truth: every moment is a chance to begin again. Let’s dive into this journey of possibility and growth!

Empowering others is about more than offering guidance; it’s about recognizing the unique strengths within each person and nurturing their potential to make them feel valued, confident, and capable. When we take the time to listen, encourage, and invest genuinely in each other, we create a foundation of support where everyone can thrive.

By fostering an environment where people feel safe, heard, and inspired to reach new heights, we generate a ripple effect of resilience, growth, and connection that has the power to transform entire communities and shape a future where everyone has the chance to shine.

Natasha Palumbo and I have had our great conversation and find out what our why's ideas to building people up.

Belonging is fundamental to personal and professional growth, as it provides the emotional support, motivation, and sense of purpose necessary to thrive. When we feel connected and valued within our communities and workplaces, we are more likely to take risks, embrace learning opportunities, and confidently pursue our goals. Belonging also fosters collaboration and opens us to diverse perspectives, enriching our skill set and deepening our understanding. In an environment where we truly belong, we are empowered to bring our authentic selves forward, fueling resilience, innovation, and a shared commitment to success.

The conversation is with my dear sister Susannah Dawn and her amazing thoughts from her own experiences on belonging.

Eulogy for Jessica Harvey

Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends,

Today, we gather to remember and celebrate the life of Jessica Harvey, a woman whose journey was marked by profound challenges and triumphs. Jessica was a force of nature—resilient, compassionate, and deeply committed to making the world a better place, particularly in the realm of healthcare.

Jessica’s life was a testament to the power of perseverance. From her early years living with epilepsy to the life-altering surgery she underwent at the age of 17, she faced immense obstacles with a courage that was nothing short of inspiring. But it wasn’t just her personal struggles that defined her—it was the way she used those experiences to advocate for others that truly set her apart.

In her own words, Jessica believed that our souls’ journeys are complex and unique, shaped by the challenges we are capable of enduring. This belief guided her throughout her life, particularly in her mission to improve the way healthcare personnel care for their patients. Jessica understood, firsthand, the gaps in the system—the moments where empathy, understanding, and comprehensive care were lacking. Her experience fueled her passion for change, and she became a powerful voice for patients, urging healthcare providers to see beyond the diagnosis and to care for the whole person.

Jessica’s work in the field of ESG-focused finance was driven by the same values that guided her personal life. She was committed to sustainability, not just in terms of the environment, but in terms of human dignity and well-being. She believed that true healthcare means treating patients with the compassion and respect they deserve, and she dedicated herself to this cause through her advocacy, her volunteer work, and her role in mentoring others.

Her involvement in the “Rebel with a Cause” anthology was a natural extension of her life’s mission. Jessica wanted to shine a light on the crucial need for healthcare reform—specifically, the need for healthcare personnel to take better care of their patients. She understood that healthcare is not just about curing illness, but about caring for the person behind the illness, understanding their fears, their hopes, and their unique journeys.

Jessica’s life was one of service—to her profession, to her community, and to all those who needed a voice. She was a proud neurodivergent, epileptic brain tumor survivor who used her experiences to help others struggling with similar conditions. Her dedication to improving patient care will continue to inspire those who knew her and those who read her work.

As we remember Jessica today, let us honor her legacy by continuing the fight she was so passionate about. Let us advocate for a healthcare system that truly cares for its patients, one that recognizes the value of empathy, compassion, and understanding. Jessica’s strength, her resilience, and her commitment to others will live on in all of us who continue to carry her message forward.

Rest in peace, Jessica. Your legacy of compassion and commitment to better patient care will never be forgotten.

Harsha Dandamudi, is a product of this exact Flow State training and had a 12-year career in the

NFL as a top 5 wide receiver during the 90’s. Quinn will be the first person to mention that 12

healthy years in the NFL is an unbelievable stat and the internal training regimen that he

practiced in the off season was the only reason he found so much success in the NFL. This is the

exact training Harsha has been developing and training himself and his clients for over two

decades even taking it to another level of efficiency in helping people find and harness their

peak potential. For any organization to perform at the highest level possible, there is a unique

In this episode of Level Up Academy podcast, we are focusing on one of our co-authors in Beyond Boundaries: Thriving in Life's Grey Zone. We want to invite you to listen to her chapter while I introduce to you the amazing journey of her life, from abusive relationships to finding love.

Kinga-Curiosity Didn’t Kill This Cat

The chapter delves into the author's struggles with identity and belonging stemming from cultural and linguistic differences as a child of immigrant parents. Despite excelling academically, she felt excluded and pressured to conform to societal expectations, leading to a sense of impostor syndrome.

It highlights the conflict between the author's passion for human connection and societal pressures to pursue a traditional engineering career like her father. Despite her success in the tech industry, she faced backlash for her direct approach and struggled to navigate internal politics, feeling alienated and misunderstood.

Ultimately, the chapter emphasizes the importance of embracing individuality, fostering inclusive communities, and being unconventionally curious to overcome adversity and thrive. The author advocates for self-acceptance, celebrating uniqueness, and empowering others to create a life of purpose and belonging, regardless of societal norms.

Social media marketing has become an integral part of many businesses' marketing strategies. However, in a world where people are constantly bombarded with ads and sponsored content, authenticity has become a crucial factor in the success of social media marketing. Authenticity refers to the degree to which a brand's content on social media aligns with its values, mission, and purpose. It means being honest and transparent in your communication with your audience and building a relationship of trust. To achieve authenticity in social media marketing, brands need to focus on creating content that is genuine and relatable. This means avoiding overly promotional content and instead, sharing content that is informative, helpful, and entertaining. Brands can also leverage user-generated content, which is an effective way of showcasing the authenticity of their brand. Ultimately, authenticity is essential for building a loyal following on social media. By being authentic, brands can connect with their audience on a deeper level, which can lead to increased engagement, brand loyalty, and ultimately, sales.

Goodbye anxiety and hello freedom are two states of mind that can greatly impact our daily lives. Anxiety can be debilitating, making even the simplest tasks seem daunting and overwhelming. On the other hand, freedom from anxiety brings a sense of calmness and peace, allowing us to focus on our goals and enjoy life to the fullest. The good news is that there are several ways to calm the mind and achieve a state of freedom from anxiety.One way to calm the mind is through meditation. Meditation is a technique that involves focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity, with the goal of achieving a clear and calm mental state. There are many different types of meditation, such as mindfulness meditation, guided meditation, and transcendental meditation. Practicing meditation regularly can help reduce anxiety, improve concentration and focus, and promote relaxation and overall well-being. Another way to calm the mind is through physical exercise. Regular exercise releases endorphins, which are natural chemicals that help reduce stress and anxiety. Exercise also helps improve sleep quality, which can further contribute to a calm and relaxed state of mind. Other techniques to calm the mind include deep breathing exercises, journaling, and spending time in nature. By incorporating these practices into our daily routines, we can say goodbye to anxiety and hello to freedom.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LUAbydocleyland/featuredFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/LUAbydocleylandYou can find Stephanie here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniedalfonzo/
