Parita Kuttappan, Professional Coach, LIVE from the 2025 GNFCC BOLD Women’s Leadership Summit (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 893)
Parita Kuttappan, a certified professional coach, joined host John Ray live from the 2025 GNFCC BOLD Women’s Leadership Summit to share insights from her keynote on energy and how we manage it.
Parita explained how energy functions like a bank account, where daily choices and long-term habits determine whether we thrive or become depleted. She introduced a framework of six areas of influence, including physical, social, and emotional, that affect energy levels and encouraged participants to journal or track patterns to recognize where their energy is being drained.
She also emphasized the importance of proactive self-care, from small restorative practices to cultivating supportive relationships, so we do not end up “in the red” energetically. Her encouragement to allow ourselves grace and to stop wearing the “superwoman cape” reminded the audience that strength is built through awareness, balance, and self-compassion.
This interview was originally broadcast live from the 2025 GNFCC BOLD Women’s Leadership Summit held on August 12, 2025, at The Commons at Phase in Alpharetta, Georgia. John Ray Co. and North Fulton Business Radio were the Media Sponsors for this year’s Summit.
