If you’re feeling fatigue, burnout, or just not like yourself lately… this might be why: you’re leaking energy.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into the three biggest energy drains I’ve experienced—and what might be draining you without even realizing it.

From old friendships that no longer align, to overcommitting from fear of missing out, to the mental loops of comparison and perfectionism… these leaks add up.

I’ll show you how to spot where your energy is going (and why it’s not coming back), how lower motivation and self-control often start with these hidden drains, and how certain interactions—even with people we care about—can fatigue us more than we know.


In this episode:

• Why even "productive thoughts" like perfectionism tank your nervous system
• The 3 biggest energy leaks: people, patterns, and mindset
• Why your lack of motivation might actually be leaking energy, not lack of discipline
• What emotional labor and “attention residue” have to do with your burnout

This isn’t about cutting people off or hustling harder. It’s about alignment. Energy alignment.
Because when you plug those leaks, everything flows better—creativity, rest, even joy.
