Stop Saying Yes When You Want to Say No! (Follow THESE Clear Boundaries to Protect Your Energy)

Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

The older I get, here's the number one thing I prioritize: protecting my energy. Protecting your energy is the most important investment you will ever make. Energy is how you show up in the moment, it's how you use your time, it's how you connect with people. If your energy is drained, you can't achieve anything.

If your energy is sucked out of you, you're not the best version of yourself. And if your energy is being pulled out of you, you don't have the ability to make an impact. So many of you want to be incredible entrepreneurs. So many of you want to launch your own podcast. So many of you want to find love and build the right relationship.

All of those require energy. Energy isn't just about how much flow you have and how much enthusiasm you have. It's about the frequency that you vibrate at, what you attract into your life, the kind of people you surround yourself by. Have you ever noticed that some people leave you feeling full? and others leave you feeling flat.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
