Ehmandah Ramsey – The Chill CEO™

Self Leadership Strategist • Experiential Speaker • Founder of She Stories™

I don’t teach hustle.
I don’t teach business strategies.
I teach you how to sustain—through the inner game of self-leadership and strategic rest.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned to do—in life and in business—it’s how to rise.

Years ago, leaving and surviving a domestic violence marriage turned my world upside down. I became a single mom and, for a time, almost lost myself. I lived in shame and fear of being judged. But after a long healing journey, I discovered a fierce passion to create spaces where women feel safe, seen, and heard.

That passion became She Stories™, a national storytelling movement hosting therapist-supported gatherings where women share their truth and spark collective change—along with Pink Panties Pantry™, which provides feminine-hygiene products and dignity to unhoused women and girls.

Later, while building businesses and leading teams, I faced a different battle—burnout.
The drive that once fueled me began to drain me. I woke up exhausted, creativity flat, body and spirit worn thin. I had built everything I thought I wanted—and it was costing me the very life I was trying to design.

From that breaking point came my signature rhythm: Rest. Recalibrate. Rise.

My work is rooted in both lived experience and professional study.
I began as a spiritual care provider in a residential treatment facility, where I gained hands-on practice in trauma-informed care. I hold certifications as a registered yoga teacher and a Beat the Odds® facilitator, and have pursued advanced studies in nervous-system regulation and Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) practices.

Together, these studies shape the holistic, science-backed approach I bring to every rest experience.

This understanding of sustainable leadership is also deeply personal. I’m a worship leader, co-pastor, and the daughter of the late Rev. Dr. Shelter T. White, who founded Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church in San Dimas in 1958. Watching my father lead with grace while carrying the weight of ministry, family and community shaped my understanding of what it truly takes to sustain a calling. That legacy—of serving others while stewarding yourself—informs everything I teach, whether I’m consulting with CEOs or encouraging pastors.

Today I help ambitious women, organizations, and faith-driven leaders master the inner work of strategic rest and unshakable self-leadership—on stages, in boardrooms, and through immersive rest experiences.
