Welcome to part one of this three-part series, where weâre exploring your energy through the lens of Chi, Jing and Shen. Weâre starting with Chi⊠your life force in motion.
This is the energy that fuels your breath, your body, your focus, your ability to actually move through your day feeling clear and capable.
If youâve been feeling tired, scattered, pushing through, or like your energy just isnât matching what your life is asking of you⊠this is where we begin.
You have days where you feel grounded, clear, like something is finally clicking, but then it slips. Your energy drops and life gets busy. You find yourself back in old habits, old reactions, feeling scattered or overwhelmed again. Not where you were⊠but not fully where you want to be either.
This isnât a discipline problem, itâs an energy problem.
In this episode, youâll understand:
why your energy feels inconsistent even when you have a âhealthy lifestyleâhow youâre unknowingly leaking energy day to dayWhere this mysterious life force even comes fromand how to start building energy in a way that actually stabilises your lifeThis isnât about doing more. Itâs about creating a state in your body where things can actually stick.
If you want to go deeper, Iâve created a 30-day protocol that walks you step by step through restoring your energy through small, structured daily practices.
And if youâre ready to experience this fully⊠not just understand itâŠ
The upcoming Nest retreat is where you step into this way of living, and your body actually becomes it. When you come to the retreat you also get the online training complimentary as a lifelong companion.
Everything is linked for you below.

This is a guided Yoga Nidra meditation designed to bring you out of the thinking mind and back into the body through an ancient buddhist technique of placing awareness on space.
Itâs also a powerful space for creating a sankalpa⊠a deeply felt intention or inner knowing that arises not from the mind, but from a place of clarity and connection within you.
A sankalpa isnât a goal or something youâre trying to force into existence.
Itâs a quiet, grounded truth⊠a direction your system is ready to move toward.In this practice, youâll be guided to:
Soften tension and release subtle holding patterns in the bodySmooth and regulate the breath without forceMove awareness through the body in a slow, deliberate wayExperience the body as space, rather than something to control or fixAccess a deeper state of rest where your sankalpa can naturally ariseRather than trying to âswitch offâ or clear the mind, this practice gently redirects your awareness, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to return to a more natural rhythm.
From this place, intention becomes something you feel⊠not something you chase.
Itâs especially supportive if youâre feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of thinking and doing.
Rest in the space of your heart and to listen for the deepest desires that are quietly ready to unfold within you.

If youâve ever felt like youâre doing all the right things⊠but still not feeling the way you thought you would, this episode is for you. Youâll understand why on an energetic level and get a totally different perspective on why your efforts actually tend to keep you right where you are.
In this conversation with my mentor Erin, we explore the real mechanics behind healing, emotional patterns, and why so many women feel stuck in cycles of trying, tension and exhaustion. Erin explains her path into the world of energy and how she uses kinesiology and presence as the path to steady, embodied movement.
We dive into:
Why âtrying harderâ often keeps you stuckThe difference between goals and intentionsHow unresolved emotions from childhood shape your identityWhy you feel overwhelmed, disconnected or like youâre not doing enoughAnd what actually creates real movement and changeOne of my favourite parts of this conversation is the reminder that you canât skip steps in your healing. You donât go from A to Z. When weâre honest we just shuffle slowly from A⊠to B⊠to C. And the more you can be fully where you are (instead of trying to get somewhere else) the more things begin to shift naturally.
This episode isnât about doing more.
Itâs about understanding why âdoingâ isnât working⊠and how connection, compassion and presence are the only things that will actually move you forward.

This 12 minute nidra shifts the practitioner from holding on, to being held. The essential element of all yoga nidra practices and the beginning skill of mastery. We find where there are sensations of tension in the body and move them gradually from gripping, towards letting go. Choose this practice for days and moments where there is a need to centre, touch home base and make deep contact with the resortive support of the earth.
