We leak energy in ways we donāt even realise ā through tolerating what doesnāt feel good, justifying our limitations, perfectionism, regret, people-pleasing, worry and more.
Over time, these subtle patterns drain our vitality, cloud our clarity and keep us from aligning with our true path. These are the energy leaks keeping you stuckĀ ā hidden drains that quietly hold you back from stepping fully into your power.
In this masterclass, I guide you through 23 of the most common energy leaks Iāve seen in myself and in the thousands of women Iāve worked with. For each leak, I share how to identify it, reflect on where it shows up in your life and gently reframe it into an empowering alternative.
In this teaching, youāll receive:
Awareness of the 23 ways energy is unconsciously drained
Journal prompts to help you locate leaks in your own life
Simple reframe practices to restore balance and vitality
Gentle reminders to bring you back into alignment with your purpose
Your energy is your most precious resource. The moment you stop leaking it, you will begin to rise. So make a tea, grab your journal and pen, get cosy, and enjoy.
