You’re not here to be everything to everyone.
 And you’re definitely not here to let people snack on your energy like it’s a bottomless brunch.

In this episode, we’re talking energy boundaries—and how to stop overgiving, overexplaining, and overextending yourself in the name of being kind, helpful, or “available.” Because your peace is a sacred resource. And it’s time to start treating it like one.

I’m sharing five powerful truths around protecting your energy and shifting out of burnout-mode with clarity, confidence, and compassion. You’ll hear:

– Why people-pleasing isn’t kindness—it’s conditioning
 – How emotional exhaustion gets disguised as compassion
 – The difference between filters and walls (and why you need one, not the other)
 – What happens when you reclaim your “no” without guilt
 – A client story that shows the power of boundaries in real time
 – And how Tempranillo (yes, the wine) can teach you a thing or two about aligned protection and presence

What I’m Sipping:
Lobetia Tempranillo – Spain
This organic red is clean, earthy, and low-intervention—structured and intentional, without trying too hard. It holds its ground without shouting for attention… exactly the kind of energy we’re embodying this week.
