194. If you’ve ever left a meeting feeling inexplicably exhausted, found yourself stuck in resentment, or felt overwhelmed by other people’s emotions, you might be carrying energy that isn’t yours.

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I’m guiding you through one of the most essential energetic leadership tools I’ve ever learned: empathy management.

We explore:

• The real-world signs of unmanaged empathy (and why it’s not the same as codependency)

• How to discern your energy from everyone else’s

• A powerful practice called the Zip Up Method that strengthens your energetic boundaries instantly

• A calming breath + nervous system regulation ritual you can do in just minutes

• How to stop people-pleasing and start expressing your truth—without fear

Plus, I share a vulnerable story about how I went from world-class people pleaser to an empowered, intuitive leader... and how you can, too.

This episode will help you reclaim your energy, find your authentic voice, and start leading in a way that feels deeply aligned.

Tune in and take back your energy, one breath at a time.
