How to Reclaim your Life Force by Doing an Energy Audit
Ever felt like you’re running on empty—even when you’re doing all the “right” things? You are so not alone. In this solo episode of Can’t Be Contained, I open up about my own experiences with hitting emotional rock bottom and feeling energetically depleted, even when everything looked good on paper. I share how I learned to listen to my body’s signals, the truth behind burnout beyond burnout, and what it really feels like to have your soul tired from forcing yourself through misaligned commitments. I even take you behind the scenes to when I was closing down my previous company, in total overwhelm, desperate for a change.
I get into the practices that have been game-changers for me—things like breathwork and nervous system regulation, which I use to shift from survival mode back into clarity and alignment. I walk you through my weekly “energy audit”—a practice that helps me notice what actually gives me life and what needs to go. I talk about having tough but necessary conversations, the power of listening to that spark in your body, and how just one aligned decision can amplify your energy for days. This episode is my personal invitation to pause, get really honest about what’s draining you, and courageously choose what feels right, even if it’s not the easy route. Trust me, there’s magic waiting for you on the other side of true alignment.
