In this compelling episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Angelica Ponder — CEO & Founder of Angelica Ponder Consulting Solutions, LLC — to explore the truth about growth beyond the hustle. From her childhood in Bogotá, Colombia, during the Narco Civil War, to leading a 65-person team in a luxury New York hotel by age 22, Angelica’s journey is one of resilience, excellence, and transformation.
She opens up about the hidden cost of overcommitment, the leadership blind spots that derail growth, and the hardest boundary she’s ever had to set. Angelica challenges the myth of balance, reveals why "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" can be dangerous advice, and shares the mindset shifts that allowed her to leave burnout behind and grow with purpose.
