Most people chase tools and productivity, but do not consider two of the most important things that keeps us going. Our energy and personal sovereignty.
2026 was one of my strongest business years. Not because I worked more hours. Because I am changing how I show up. Managing my energy makes a measurable difference in addition to maintaining personal sovereignty.
My recent journey includes meeting some new friends and mentors and recently I spent some time with two of my favorites.
I sat down with Andy and Jonno from the Spirit Release Academy to talk about energy in a way that fits real life and real work.
(Podcast link here if you want to skip the blog.)
We talk about:
• Why focus and decisions suffer when your energy is scattered
• Why energy management should be a leadership skill
• What sovereignty really means (everyone has their own definition)
• The secret to everything in life (hint: it’s nothing “out there”)
We also chatted about how everyone has intuition and whether you use it or not is up to you. And also how trusting yourself versus looking for outside validation is a life changing decision.
It all starts with a choice. I invite you to try this quick experiment:
The 60-Second Energy Check.
Sit still for one minute. Just notice.
Ask yourself:
• How does my body feel right now?
• Where do I feel tension?
• Where do I feel relaxed?
• Does my energy feel open or stressed?
Learning about your energy is about one choice at a time.
Choosing to sit still. Or not.
Choosing to listen to yourself. Or not.
Choosing to do things differently. Or not.
Choosing to learn how to manage your energy Or not.
Choosing to finally commit to figure out YOU. Or not.
It's up to you.
In light of today's current event's it may be time for to look within. Especially if you are in transition....to parenthood, retirement, career change or whatever it is. Or you are just searching for "more" but cannot name it. Knowing how to cope, and live your life without allowing outside interference is a skill you can learn.
It’s definitely a journey and not a destination. It’s messy. And change is not the easiest thing to manuever through. And it never ends. But making fundamental changes in how you conduct yourself is worth it.
