If you're feeling fatigue, burnout, or just not like yourself lately… this might be why: you're leaking energy. In this solo episode, I'm diving into the three biggest energy drains I've experienced—and what might be draining you without even realizing it. From old friendships that no longer align, to overcommitting from fear of missing out, to the mental loops of comparison and perfectionism… these leaks add up. I'll show you how to spot where your energy is going (and why it's not coming back), how lower motivation and self-control often start with these hidden drains, and how certain interactions—even with people we care about—can fatigue us more than we know. In this episode:  Why even "productive thoughts" like perfectionism tank your nervous system The 3 biggest energy leaks: people, patterns, and mindset Why your lack of motivation might actually be leaking energy, not lack of discipline What emotional labor and “attention residue” have to do with your burnout   This isn't about cutting people off or hustling harder. It's about alignment. Energy alignment. Because when you plug those leaks, everything flows better—creativity, rest, even joy.   00:45 — Energy Leaks: What They Are & Why They Matter 02:00 — When People Drain You: Emotional Labor & Boundaries 08:10 — The Hidden Cost of Overcommitting and Multitasking 10:30 — Mindset Leaks: Perfectionism, Comparison & Burnout 18:50 — How to Audit & Plug Your Biggest Energy Drains LISTEN TO NEXT:  Reparenting Yourself ( ep 287)

In this episode of Literally First Class, host Keri Ford discusses the common pitfalls that high-achieving women face in their entrepreneurial journeys, particularly around the $1 million to $5 million revenue mark. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing 'success leaks'—areas where time, money, and energy are lost due to overcommitment and overthinking. Keri introduces the concept of 'energetic systems' to help listeners maximize their productivity and energy management, advocating for a structured approach to time management that allows for both scaling and sustaining success. The episode concludes with actionable strategies for sustainable growth and the importance of maintaining momentum in business.   Takeaways: High-achieving women often lose time, money, and energy. Success leaks occur around key revenue milestones. Awareness and personal development are crucial for growth. Leaders are readers; continuous learning is essential. Overcommitting and overthinking can hinder progress. Energetic systems can help manage time and energy effectively. Regular calendar audits can identify inefficiencies. Sustainable success requires balancing scaling and stabilizing. Utilizing existing networks can create low-hanging revenue opportunities.

The Slow Living Collective
What would it feel like to create more space for rest this Spring?

Spring has a way of making us want to throw open the windows, clear out the junk drawer, and scrub every surface until it gleams. There's something about the longer days and lighter evenings that stirs up the urge for a fresh start. But while we're wiping down shelves and hauling out bags of donations, how often do we think about the clutter we can't see?I'm talking about the emotional and mental mess, the overwhelm, the overcommitting, the perfectionism that quietly weighs us down. The things we carry around in our heads and hearts long after they've outlived their purpose. So today, let's talk about a different kind of spring cleaning the kind that makes space in your soul.Let's slow down and journey together through the seasons with simplicity and intention. Subscribe to receive simple musings directly in your inbox.Letting Go of Mental ClutterWe all know what it feels like to walk into a room that's messy and chaotic. Your eyes don't know where to land, your mind feels scattered, and it's hard to focus. Now, imagine that same disarray but inside your head.Mental clutter shows up in so many ways:* Overwhelm from trying to juggle too many responsibilities.* Overcommitting because you're afraid of letting people down.* Perfectionism keeping you stuck, convincing you that if it's not flawless, it's not worth doing.Sound familiar? Me too.For a long time, I was the queen of overcommitting. I'd agree to things before checking my calendar, thinking I could somehow squeeze in one more thing. I'd say yes when my whole being was begging for a no. And perfectionism? She was my unwanted sidekick. I'd rewrite emails three times before sending them. I'd overthink captions to the point of deleting them. It was exhausting.But here's what I've learned: you can't create a slow and simple life if your mind is constantly racing. You can't feel at ease if your thoughts are tangled up in ‘shoulds' and ‘not enoughs'.How to Clear the Mental Clutter:* Simplify your inputs: Cut back on the noise. Mute accounts that leave you feeling inadequate. Reduce notifications. Give yourself permission to answer messages when you have capacity, not instantly.* Set gentle boundaries: Protect your peace by saying no, even when it's uncomfortable. It's okay to turn down a request or step back from a commitment if it's stretching you too thin.* Ditch perfectionism: Done is better than perfect. Let good enough be enough. You're allowed to send the email, share the post, or finish the project without polishing it to oblivion.I set up a Buy Me a Coffee as a simple and meaningful way for those who enjoy my work to support the abundance of free content I create. From my podcast, newsletters, and Instagram posts to the thoughtful resources I share, so much of what I do is fueled by a love for slow, simple, and seasonal living.If my content has ever inspired, encouraged, or supported you on your journey, and you'd like to give back in a small way, buying me a coffee is a beautiful way to do so and starts at £1. Every contribution helps me continue sharing free content while also supporting the time, energy, and love that goes into creating it.Your support, whether through a coffee or simply by engaging with my content, means the world to me. Thank you for being part of this slow and intentional space!Refreshing Routines & Creating Space for RestSpring is nature's gentle nudge to refresh, to shed what feels heavy and make room for lightness. And that doesn't just mean deep-cleaning your kitchen cupboards. It also means taking a good look at your daily rhythms.I used to have this habit of clinging to routines that no longer worked for me. Even when they felt clunky and draining, I'd stick with them out of habit. But spring is a beautiful reminder that it's okay to let your routines evolve with the season.Ask yourself:* Are your current rhythms fuelling or draining you?* Do you need more slowness in your mornings or more stillness in your evenings?* Could you loosen the grip on routines that feel too rigid?For me, refreshing my routine in spring looks like:* Swapping the coffee on the sofa mornings for coffee in the garden mornings.* Slowing down my evenings by reading with soft lighting instead of scrolling my phone.* Leaving white space in my calendar just for the sake of it—no tasks, no plans, just room to breathe.How to Create Space for Rest:* Prioritise white space: You don't have to fill every hour. Leaving space in your schedule allows room for spontaneity, creativity, and genuine rest.* Build transition moments: Add tiny moments of pause between activities. A short walk after work, a tea break before tackling the next task…it all counts.* Redefine productivity: Rest doesn't need to be earned. It's not a reward for getting everything done, it's the fuel that makes everything else sustainable.Your Soulful Spring Cleaning Prompt:If you're feeling ready to do some internal spring cleaning, here's a gentle journaling prompt to sit with:“What am I holding onto that feels heavy, and what would it feel like to set it down?”Let yourself write freely. Don't overthink it. Let the words flow onto the page without judgement.And if you find that you're carrying more than you realised, be gentle with yourself. Spring cleaning for the soul is not about fixing, it's about lightening. It's about making just a little more space for the things that breathe life into you.Let's slow down and journey together through the seasons with simplicity and intention. Subscribe to receive simple musings directly in your inbox.Give Yourself Permission to Let GoSo, as you dust off your shelves and scrub your floors this spring, I hope you'll also make time to dust off your soul. To clear out the self-imposed pressure, the perfectionism, and the emotional clutter that no longer fits.Because you deserve to feel lighter. You deserve to breathe easier. You deserve a spring that feels spacious, not just in your home, but in your heart.Let me know: what are you letting go of this spring? Share your reflections with me over on Instagram or in the comments. I'd love to hear what you're releasing and making space for. To hear more, visit theslowlivingcollective.substack.com

In this episode, I open up about how, in January, I found myself being quite unkind to myself, often in ways I didn't even notice at first. This realisation sparked an idea for this episode. Hehe, something good did come out of it! We all know that when we're in a negative rut, we can self-sabotage in obvious ways. But what about the subtle, everyday ways we're unkind to ourselves...the thoughts, habits, and small self-criticisms that feel so natural, we don't even question them? Because they're hard to identify, we rarely make an effort to change them. They almost feel like a part of us.I hope this episode helps you cultivate more kindness and compassion for yourself. We often fail to give ourselves patience and grace...whether we're struggling with something personal, feeling unmotivated at work, or dealing with hormones. Some of what I share comes from my own experience, and some from research, but what I've learned is that we all do this in one way or another.These “small” moments of self-neglect aren't so small after all. They build up over time, affecting our self-esteem, happiness, and even our physical well-being leading to stress headaches, anxiety in the chest, or that uncomfortable feeling in the tummy Yet, we rarely pause to work on these things because we assume they're just a normal part of life. The good news is, they don't have to be. I hope that thought is refreshing to hear for you!Below are 10 ways we can be unkind to ourselves and this is what I unpack in this episode.1. Overcommitting & People-Pleasing –2. Ignoring Our Intuition3. Forcing Productivity4. Minimising Our Feelings5. Delaying Joy6. Not Allowing Ourselves to Receive7. Comparing Ourselves8.

Ever wonder why it always seems like you have said “yes” to more than you can effectively manage, when you have ADHD? Impulsivity and people pleasing tendencies play a role, but our unique relationship with time that might be the biggest factor, making business success a lot more challenging. We have trouble accurately estimating how much time, energy and effort our commitments actually take, especially when they are shiny and new. A neurotypical person has a 12-16 week “time horizon” on average, while ours can feel a lot closer to 12-16 minutes at times.

The Call Is Coming From Inside the House: 5 Internal Boundaries You're Neglecting

The Catalyst: Sparking Creative Transformation in Healthcare

“Overcommitting and overworking won't lead to more popularity or more business success. It just means you're not discerning your internal boundaries well enough to give yourself that permission for space and time,” I share in this episode of The Catalyst. I've seen how neglecting those internal boundaries can fuel burnout and overwhelm, especially in high-pressure environments like healthcare.   When we push ourselves to overcommit and chase perfection, we end up ignoring our personal needs, and that's actually blocking us from reaching a state of flow—a powerful state where we perform and feel our best. My advice? Set firm, clear boundaries. Embrace “good enough” instead of perfection. And don't forget to prioritize self-care and creativity. When we're mindful of these internal boundaries, we reduce stress, find better balance, and create space for flow, leading us to a more fulfilling, productive, and healthier life.   Quotes “When you're doing something you love, it's so easy to say yes… And so when we do this and we say yes all the time, we're on that highway of burnout because as you'll see with that practitioner I talked about, burnout is three things, depersonalization, low perceived achievement, and emotional exhaustion.” (06:27 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Overcommitting, overworking does not lead to more popularity, to more business success. It just means that you're not discerning your internal boundaries well enough to give yourself that permission of space and time.” (10:35 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “When you neglect basic needs like snacks, rest, that derails productivity… Your productivity will actually decrease the more you try to squeeze that lemonade out of that lemon. It isn't going to work. You need to have these routine cadences of breaks for your self-care.” (13:24 | Dr. Lara Salyer) “Creativity is part of the divine connection we have. It is the art of medicine. It is the reason we are human beings, not human doings… Creativity isn't just painting or drawing, writing, or dancing. Creativity is a relationship that you have with yourself. It is exploring what is curious to you.” (18:54 | Dr. Lara Salyer)   Links Book a Discovery Call: https://drlarasalyer.as.me/discovery Free Catalyst Calendar planner: https://healthinnate.activehosted.com/f/49 Past Episode referenced in this podcast: https://drlarasalyer.com/2024/03/01/episode-103-tips-on-turning-gratitude-into-greatfullness   Ads: Shop https://drlarasalyer.com/shop.

In this episode, we challenge the conventional wisdom of customer-centricity and discuss why firing a customer is sometimes necessary. While it may seem counterintuitive, knowing when to let go of a customer can benefit your business in the long run.  We outline five critical rules to help you determine when it's time to part ways with a customer: Rule #1: Fire customers if they cost too much. Some customers drain more resources than they generate in revenue. It's crucial to track these costs accurately and address the imbalance. If you can't rectify the situation, it's time to let them go. Rule #2: Fire customers if they don't align with your brand. Your brand's values should resonate with your customer base. If a customer's values conflict with yours, maintaining the relationship can harm your brand's integrity and alienate your core audience. Rule #3: Fire customers if they don't fit with your future. As your business grows, some customers might no longer fit your strategic goals. Prioritize resources for future growth by letting go of customers who don't align with your long-term plans. Rule #4: Fire customers if they are too risky. If a customer's business model or payment practices pose a significant risk, it's safer to part ways. Overcommitting to one client or taking the undue risk can jeopardize your business stability. Rule #5: Fire customers if they abuse your employees. Support and protect your employees from abusive customers. Ensuring a respectful work environment is critical for employee morale and long-term success. Understanding these rules will help you make informed decisions about maintaining customer relationships that align with your business goals and values. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to let go. In this episode, we also explore: The importance of knowing your customer cost metrics and tracking them accurately. How to handle awkward conversations with customers about cost imbalances. Examples of brand alignment, including the Colin Kaepernick and Nike story. Strategies for soft-firing customers without abrupt severance. Recognizing when your growth trajectory requires pruning your customer base. Identifying and mitigating business risks associated with certain customers. The impact of customer behavior on employee well-being and company policy. Insights on post-pandemic changes in customer behavior and their effect on businesses. The balance between customer-centricity and business sustainability.

In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy dives into the power of intentionality in achieving our goals and becoming effective leaders. She emphasizes the importance of being intentional about our actions and decisions, especially when it comes to leadership and building successful teams. Kris discusses how many entrepreneurs excel at learning new skills and strategies to grow their businesses but often struggle when it comes to applying these same strategies for leading their teams. She encourages listeners to reassess their priorities and focus on the core reasons behind their goals, rather than simply making a list of tasks to complete. Throughout the episode, Kris shares personal insights into her new year's goals, particularly in prioritizing self-care, and how she is enacting short sprints in order to achieve her desired outcomes. And that by focusing on just a few small tasks, it not only simplifies goal-setting, but also increases productivity and energy, enabling individuals to focus on other important areas of their lives. You can't create an intentional future by continuing to take unintentional action. And it's not enough to say you want something. We have to design the framework that gets you what you want. Key Takeaways From This Episode Importance of Intentionality: The power of setting intentions, especially during the start of the year What It Means to Create Intentional Action: Being intentional requires confronting truths, making commitments, and taking steps Avoid “Winging It” in Leadership: Intentional leadership is crucial for the success of a business, much like the intentional learning and efforts put into other business aspects Overcommitting to Goals: Focusing on a few key areas at a time can be more effective than setting too many resolutions, and trying to do them all at the same time Goals Are Achieved Through Frameworks: Go beyond surface-level intentions, and set yourself up for success by creating a systematic approach for achieving desired outcomes Shifting Away From Willpower: Reaching goals is not merely about willpower, but about maintaining intentional actions that align with the desired destination CONTACT INFORMATION & RESOURCES Connect with Kris Plachy ONE HOUR LEADER Transform your current team into the self-directed team you wish you had in as little as one hour per week.
