Breaking Barriers: From Silicon Valley to Ayurveda

Rochel Marie Lawson’s story is one of grit, resilience, and a refusal to accept limitations. In the late 1980s, she set out to pursue a career in electrical engineering—only to be met with the harsh reality that Silicon Valley wasn’t ready for a woman like her. The doors were closed, but instead of waiting for permission, she built her own.

She founded All Day Cable, Inc., the first woman-owned, minority-owned telecommunications installation company in the United States. While running this highly technical business, she was also working as a registered nurse in emergency and trauma care. But something was missing.

Even as she cared for patients, she could see that traditional medicine wasn’t addressing the root of their health problems. She started incorporating Ayurveda, an ancient holistic healing system, into her work—helping patients not just survive, but thrive. As she witnessed lives transforming, she realized she was onto something.

That realization led her to found Blissful Living 4 U, where she now helps women entrepreneurs and professionals create balance in their businesses, health, and personal lives.

The 3 C’s: How to Build a Business & Life That Supports You

Most ambitious women think that if they just work harder, they’ll reach success. But Rochel has seen firsthand that this approach leads to exhaustion, burnout, and frustration. Instead of grinding yourself into the ground, she encourages women to embrace the 3 C’s of success:

1. Community: Surround Yourself with the Right People

No one succeeds alone. The most successful people are those who have built a strong support system—a network of people who lift them up, provide opportunities, and celebrate their wins.

Rochel shares how her community has been a game-changer in her career. Whether it was the right mentors, team members, or strategic partnerships, she has always been intentional about who she surrounds herself with.

Take Action: Look at your current network. Who in your life inspires and uplifts you? Who challenges you to grow? If your circle isn’t aligned with your goals, it may be time to expand your community.

2. Connection: Build Relationships That Matter

Too often, networking is seen as a numbers game—collecting as many business cards or LinkedIn connections as possible. But Rochel emphasizes the importance of meaningful relationships.

Connection is not about transactions—it’s about building real, lasting relationships with people who share your values and vision. Whether in business or life, the quality of your connections will determine the quality of your opportunities.

Take Action: Instead of focusing on making more connections, focus on deepening the ones you already have. Reach out to someone in your network and find a way to offer value without expecting anything in return.

3. Collaboration: Leverage the Strengths of Others

One of the biggest mistakes women make in business is trying to do everything alone. Rochel believes that collaboration is the secret to scalability. By partnering with the right people, you can achieve more while working smarter, not harder.

She applies this principle not only in business but also in how she builds her teams. Instead of just hiring for skills, she uses Ayurveda to align people with their natural strengths and tendencies, ensuring they’re in roles where they thrive.

Take Action: Identify one area in your business or career where you’re struggling. Who could you collaborate with to make this easier? Whether it’s outsourcing a task, hiring a coach, or teaming up with another entrepreneur, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Ayurveda & Business: How Understanding Your Energy Can Change Everything

One of the most fascinating parts of Rochel’s journey is how she has incorporated Ayurveda—a 5,000-year-old holistic healing system—into modern business strategy.

Ayurveda is based on three energy types, or Doshas:

• Pitta (Fire): Driven, ambitious, and action-oriented

• Vata (Air & Ether): Creative, visionary, and high-energy

• Kapha (Earth & Water): Grounded, stable, and nurturing

Your Dosha affects everything—from how you handle stress, make decisions, and lead your team to how you should structure your workday for maximum productivity.

Rochel explains that when your Dosha is out of balance, you may struggle with burnout, indecision, or financial instability. But when you align your business with your natural strengths, success becomes easier.

Wellness, Wisdom & Wealth: The Formula for a Blissful Life

Rochel doesn’t believe in compartmentalizing life. True success comes from integrating wellness, wisdom, and wealth—because when one area is out of balance, everything else suffers.

Wellness – If you’re exhausted, stressed, and overwhelmed, your business and career will suffer. Prioritizing your well-being is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Wisdom – Success requires self-awareness, intuition, and the ability to learn from both wins and failures. The smartest people aren’t the ones who know everything—they’re the ones who are always willing to grow.

Wealth – Money is energy. When you align your financial mindset with your natural tendencies, you create abundance effortlessly.

Final Thoughts: Success Should Feel Good

Rochel Marie Lawson has built her businesses and her life around alignment, strategy, and balance—and she’s on a mission to help other women do the same.

If you’ve been pushing yourself to the limit, thinking that’s the only way to succeed, it’s time to embrace a different path. One that prioritizes Community, Connection, and Collaboration. One that aligns with your natural strengths. One that leads to success without sacrificing your well-being.

Because the truth is: Success should feel good.
