73. 5 Places You're Leaking Energy (And How to Plug the Drain)

If you feel exhausted no matter how motivated you are, this episode will change how you look at your energy. I am not talking about willpower or pushing harder. I am talking about your actual capacity to think clearly, show up consistently, and move forward without running on empty. In this episode, I walk you through an honest energy audit to help you see where your power is leaking without you even realizing it.

I break down the five most common energy drains I see in high-achieving women: mental overload, physical depletion, emotional suppression, draining relationships, and chaotic environments. We talk about how decision fatigue, poor sleep, people pleasing, one-sided relationships, and cluttered schedules quietly drain your bandwidth, and I give you simple, realistic strategies to plug each leak without overhauling your entire life.

If you have strong goals but feel like you cannot keep up, this episode offers a grounded reset. Your energy is your most valuable resource. When you protect it intentionally, everything else becomes easier to sustain.
