Energy Management Pt. 3

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right things”, getting your steps in, drinking your water, maybe even making time for rest, but you’re still utterly exhausted… this episode is for you.

In part three of our four-part Energy Management Series, we’re talking about two of the most overlooked components of sustainable performance: emotional and mental energy. These hidden energy drains are often what keep even the most well-intentioned leaders stuck in survival mode or burnout, even when their physical health is “on point.”

Emotional Energy: What You’re Carrying Quietly

As a leader, you’re probably no stranger to bottling up your feelings, pushing through the overwhelm, or smiling through the stress. But what if that suppression is actually the biggest energy leak of all?

In this episode, I unpack how emotional labor, especially for those of us in leadership roles, can lead to fatigue and burnout if left unchecked. I walk you through the practice of emotional regulation, why naming your feelings matters more than you think, and how small daily “micro-releases” can reset your nervous system and restore your capacity to lead with heart.

Mental Energy: The Drip-Drip That Drains You

Next, we talk mental energy: your ability to think clearly, make decisions, and stay focused. From endless to-do lists and calendar overload to the decision fatigue that hits at 2 p.m., we’re covering it all. You’ll learn why multitasking is silently exhausting you, how to reclaim your focus with intentional breaks, and how to wind down at night so your brain can actually rest.

Real Tools for Real Leaders

Throughout the episode, I offer practical, no-fluff tools you can use today to protect and renew both emotional and mental energy. These aren’t just feel-good tips, these are real strategies that help you lead with more clarity, connection, and calm.

Listen in to learn:

• Why you keep bouncing between survival and burnout, even when doing the “right things”
• The 3-step process to emotionally reset in just a few minutes
• How to combat mental fatigue in a distraction-heavy world
• The truth about emotional perfectionism and what to do instead
  
  

Listen in now and let’s start clearing out the clutter, inside and out. Your energy is worth protecting.
