You’re Absorbing Everyone’s Energy - Here’s How to Come Back to Yourself
Description
In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I’m pulling back the curtain and getting very real with you.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, scattered, or unsure - and maybe even wondering if there’s something wrong with you - I want you to know this: you’re likely not overwhelmed, you’re overloaded. You’re carrying energy that doesn’t belong to you, and it’s burying your intuition and your peace.
I share candidly about the past two years in my business and life - the failed launches, the chronic over-giving, the hard pivots, and how I’m making different choices now. You’ll also hear what I’m changing in my work, why I’m closing Your Yes Filled Life group program, and how I’m creating spaces like The Reset Retreat for intuitive, empathic leaders who want to stop absorbing everything and start trusting themselves again.
If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” if you feel everything, or if you’ve silently wondered why things still feel so hard even when you’re “doing the work” - this one is for you.
🌟 In this episode, I talk about:
Why you’re not actually overwhelmed - you’re energetically overloaded
How carrying other people’s emotions and expectations buries your intuition
The difference between anxiety and intuition in the body
Signs you might be a highly sensitive person (and why that’s not a problem)
What happens when we energetically merge with loved ones and clients
Why journaling, meditating more, and “waiting for a sign” won’t give you clarity
The reality of my past two years: failed launches, chronic over-giving, and hard truths
How my mentors and support systems helped me re-align my offers and business
Why I’m closing Your Yes Filled Life and simplifying everything
Who The Reset Retreat is for (and why I designed it specifically for spiritual entrepreneurs building to $0–15k months)
Why your gifts are not “too much” - they just need the right container
