4 Lies Energy Managers, People Pleasers, and Approval Addicts Tell Themselves May 11, 2022

Show notes

An energy manager is someone whose people-pleasing habit has gone next-level and become an addiction. You know you're an energy manager if you are constantly and hyper-vigilantly managing the moods, thoughts, and feelings of your people — your partner, friends, coworkers, furnace repair guy, whoever. It's exhausting and thankless and the "work" of energy managing never ends. And the crazy thing is that IT DOESN'T WORK. Like addicts clinging to their substance of choice, energy managers and people pleasers cling to a handful of very false notions that perpetuate this extremely toxic addiction. Today, I cover 4 of them.

Energy Managing Is the New People Pleasing Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

Gorgeous soul, I am pretty sure this episode of the Calm AF podcast is meant just for you. Today, I am talking all about energy managers. And if you're not sure what I mean by "energy manager," think of energy managers as people pleasers who have taken people pleasing to a whole new level. They're the ones who are not merely seeking the approval of one person, they are seeking to control all the moods of all the people. Yeah. It's intense, it's exhausting, and it definitely takes its toll on the soul. Let's dive in. To learn more about my new coaching program opening soon, visit

There Is No Downside to Choosing Empowering Thoughts Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

There is never a downside to choosing empowered thinking. There is never a downside to choosing to believe that the best is going to happen instead of the worst is going to happen, or believing that you are capable or worthy or enough. Your brain wants to hold onto the "yeah buts." Yeah, but what if I'm not? Yeah, but what if I fail? Yeah, but what about other people's opinions? Your brain — the human brain — is designed to look for all the ways you aren't enough, the way your life is lacking. BUT. It is never helpful to choose those thoughts. It is never helpful to choose anxiety or fear or shame. It's never helpful to err on the side of limiting or powerless thinking. And in this episode, as your coach, I'm going to prove it to you.

How To Break The Clutter Cycle (And Declutter Without Overwhelm) Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

If you've ever looked around your house and felt instantly overwhelmed… this episode is for you.

Because clutter isn't just about "stuff." It's not about being messy or lazy or not trying hard enough.

Clutter is postponed decisions.

In this episode, we're breaking down why clutter builds up in the first place, why trying to fix it all at once never works, and how your mindset—not your motivation—is the reason it keeps coming back.

If you've ever started decluttering only to get overwhelmed, shut down, and end up right back where you started… there's a reason for that. And it has nothing to do with your ability to "get it together."

We're talking about:

Why clutter is really just delayed decision-making
How overwhelm and all-or-nothing thinking keep you stuck
The connection between physical clutter, mental clutter, and emotional clutter
Why decluttering fails when you approach it from pressure instead of self-trust
How to finally become someone who starts and finishes what they begin

This isn't about organizing your house perfectly or getting rid of everything you own.

It's about changing the way you think about your space—so it can actually support the life you want to build.

Because when your environment feels calm, clear, and supportive, everything else becomes easier.
