Life is messy, unpredictable, and full of surprises—so how do we protect our energy and stay grounded when it all feels like too much? In this episode of Spirit Speakeasy, I’m pulling back the curtain on my personal approach to “energy protection”—and it’s probably not what you think.

Spoiler alert: it’s not about shielding yourself from the world but shoring up your own energy so life’s inevitable storms don’t knock you off course.

I’ll share what’s been working for me lately, from small but mighty self-care routines to practical tips for showing up as your best self—even when life gets “extra.” Whether you’re juggling a demanding career, family responsibilities, or just the ups and downs of being human, this episode is full of insights you can personalize, adapt and easily integrate into your own life.

You’ll learn:

• Why energy protection is more about you than external forces
• Simple ways to check in with yourself and process emotions
• Hacks for supporting “future you” in everyday life
• How to build a flexible “foundation” that evolves with you
• The surprising role of fun, play, and creativity in keeping your energy balanced

Plus, I’ll reveal the one mindset shift that changed how I approach self-care completely—and why “busy” is never an excuse to ignore your needs.

This episode is packed with practical tips, heartfelt advice, and a little nudge to prioritize yourself without adding more to your plate. Tune in to spark more joy and create a life that feels truly aligned with your energy.

Grief is a deeply personal and often messy journey—one that isn’t confined to the loss of a loved one. It can stem from the end of a relationship, career changes, health challenges, or even letting go of a version of ourselves. And with everything happening currently in the world, aren’t we all just living with grief at this point?? In this episode, we deep dive into the 7 Stages of Grief and take a real and honest look at how they may show up in any of our lives.

While grief is unique to each individual, the common “stages” most of us find ourselves moving through draw from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s groundbreaking work, On Death and Dying, which introduced the now-famous “Stages of Grief.” These stages, though insightful, have been both widely taught and criticized over the years- I’ll spill the tea on what her critics say too! We’ll talk through the expanded “7 stages of grief”—Shock, Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Testing, and Acceptance—highlighting their value as a flexible framework rather than a strict GPS roadmap.

Even though grief can be a challenging subject to talk about, it happens to be one of the things that connects us as human beings. A common thread of our human experience. It is one of those threads of shared humanity that connects us all.
