Throughout my journey as a business owner, coach, and healer, I have often preached the importance of living in alignment with one's values and purpose. As I’ve spent years helping others find balance and joy, I’ve realized the profound weight of practicing what I preach. Recent experiences—especially while traveling for business, navigating a health crisis and writing reflective blogs—have solidified an undeniable truth: my fulfillment no longer lies in the world of bookkeeping, accounting, and financial coaching.I’ve realized that version of me has completed its cycle. The work I once loved no longer brings the deep satisfaction it once did. Instead, my soul yearns for the richness of holistic healing and spiritual guidance, which aligns perfectly with my heart's true calling.
A Shift Towards Full Alignment
Since 2013, I’ve worked with clients battling depression, anxiety, chronic illnesses, autoimmune disorders, PTSD, and other deeply rooted challenges. These conditions often manifest as physical ailments, yet at their core, they stem from self-loathing and a disconnect from one's true purpose. Through my training in Body-Centered Hypnotherapy, Shamanic Energy Healing, and Holistic Lifestyle Coaching, I have witnessed the transformative power of guiding individuals back to themselves.
It is time for me to focus all my energy and talents in this space. I will step fully into my role as a holistic medicine woman and guide, offering services under The Wild Sage Society. Here, I will bring together all I have learned—from coaching to spiritual practices—to support others in finding their own alignment, healing, and empowerment.
Honoring My Past Work
I honor the journey that led me here. The countless hours of coaching and financial consulting helped shape my understanding of people's struggles with scarcity, fear, and control. But I’ve grown beyond those frameworks. The skills I cultivated will continue to inform my work, but now, they will serve a new purpose: to help my clients not only manage their external lives but heal from within.
This shift is not just about a career change; it’s about living fully and authentically. I’m deeply committed to embracing this new path, and I invite you to join me in exploring the healing power of holistic practices. Let’s journey together to raise our vibrations and live lives of true purpose and connection.

By now, we’ve explored the different ways energy leaks can show up in our lives—financially, emotionally, mentally. But knowing where your energy leaks are isn’t enough. The real transformation happens when we take action to seal those leaks, so we can stop pouring our energy into places that no longer serve us and start directing it toward the things that matter most.
What Does It Mean to Seal Energy Leaks?
Sealing energy leaks is about closing the gaps where your energy is being drained. It’s about creating healthy boundaries, systems, and practices that support your well-being and allow you to channel your energy in a way that’s sustainable. It’s not just about plugging up the leaks—it’s about shifting how you relate to your energy, so you can live from a place of abundance rather than depletion.
For me, sealing energy leaks has been a journey of learning to trust myself. Trusting that it’s okay to say no, that I deserve to be compensated for my work, and that I can handle the emotions that come up when life throws challenges my way.
How to Seal Energy Leaks
Here are some actionable steps to start sealing energy leaks in different areas of your life:
- Financial Leaks: Set up automated systems for invoicing, billing, and payments. Get clear on your boundaries around pricing and payment terms. Regularly review your finances so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Emotional Leaks: Practice emotional release. Whether it’s through journaling, therapy, or talking to a trusted friend, let yourself fully process your feelings instead of bottling them up.
- Mental Leaks: Create a daily practice of mindfulness or meditation to clear mental clutter. Set time limits on worrying or overthinking—once the timer is up, refocus on something productive.
Reclaiming Your Power
When we seal our energy leaks, we reclaim our power. We stop wasting energy on things that drain us and start directing it toward growth, creativity, and purpose. For me, this process has been transformational. I’ve gone from feeling scattered and constantly tired to feeling energized and focused, with more clarity in my business and my personal life.
So this week, I invite you to take a look at where your energy is going.
Are there leaks you’re ready to seal those leaks of yours? Small changes can lead to big shifts, and the energy you reclaim will empower you to move forward with more clarity, focus, and joy.
For a long time, I thought that as long as I stayed busy, I wouldn’t have to deal with the emotional baggage I was carrying. I figured that if I just kept moving, those feelings—anger, sadness, fear—would somehow resolve themselves. But what I didn’t realize was that those unresolved emotions were creating massive energy leaks in my life.
WHAT ARE EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL ENERGY LEAKS?
Emotional energy leaks happen when we carry around unresolved feelings, traumas, or stressors. Whether it’s anger you’re still holding onto from an argument months ago or sadness that lingers from a loss, these emotions take up space and drain your energy.
Mental energy leaks happen when your thoughts are stuck in repetitive loops—worrying about the future, replaying past mistakes, or doubting your abilities. These thought patterns can be just as draining as physical tasks, and they leave you feeling scattered and unfocused.
I remember a time when I was working through some difficult personal relationships. I had ended a few friendships that were no longer serving me, but I hadn’t fully dealt with the emotional impact of those endings. Even though I thought I had moved on, the truth was that I was still carrying that emotional weight. It showed up in unexpected ways—procrastination, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed by even the simplest tasks.
HOW TO IDENTIFY EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL ENERGY LEAKS
Here are some questions to ask yourself to identify potential emotional and mental energy leaks:
- What unresolved emotions am I carrying? Think about conflicts, losses, or experiences that still bring up strong feelings. These could be sources of emotional energy leaks.
- Where is my mind stuck? Are you constantly worrying about something that’s out of your control? Do you replay mistakes over and over? These mental loops drain your energy without you even realizing it.
- How does my body feel? Emotional and mental energy leaks often manifest physically. If you’re feeling unusually tired, tense, or foggy, it could be a sign that you’re carrying unresolved emotional or mental stress.
SEALING EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL ENERGY LEAKS
Healing emotional and mental energy leaks takes time and compassion. It might mean seeking support—whether that’s therapy, energy work, or simply giving yourself permission to feel your emotions fully. I found that journaling and meditating helped me bring those lingering feelings to the surface so I could process them and finally let go.
When we address these leaks, we free up space for clarity, focus, and emotional well-being.
Where are you leaking emotional or mental energy, and how can you start to heal those areas this week?
When I first started my business, I thought financial success was about making money, plain and simple. What I didn’t realize was that how I managed that money—or didn’t manage it—was just as important as how much I was bringing in. I had financial energy leaks all over the place, and they were draining not just my bank account but my mental and emotional energy as well.
What Are Financial Energy Leaks?
Financial energy leaks are those small, often unnoticed areas where money (and the energy tied to it) slips away. This can be anything from disorganized bookkeeping, late payments, or unclear boundaries with clients. It could also be more subtle—like feelings of guilt or shame around money, or fear that keeps you from making bold financial moves.
For a long time, one of my biggest financial energy leaks was not setting firm boundaries with clients. I’d extend payment deadlines, lower prices when someone asked, and sometimes even do work without charging what I was worth because I felt uncomfortable asking for money. Over time, this drained not just my finances, but my sense of self-worth and confidence in my business.
How to Identify Your Financial Energy Leaks
Here are a few places to look for financial energy leaks in your own life:
- Disorganization: If your finances are all over the place—receipts scattered, invoices unpaid, taxes behind—you’re likely losing energy trying to keep track of it all.
- Undercharging: If you’re consistently charging less than what your services are worth, you’re leaking energy in the form of lost income and undervaluing yourself.
- Unclear Boundaries: Do you have clear payment terms with your clients? If you’re always chasing people for payments or feeling awkward about discussing money, that’s a financial energy leak.
- Guilt or Shame Around Money: How do you feel when you think about your finances? If money triggers negative emotions, it can drain your energy even when you're doing well financially.
Healing Financial Energy Leaks
Healing these leaks starts with awareness. When I began to set firmer boundaries around payments, something powerful happened: I felt more energized and more confident. I wasn’t constantly chasing after clients or stressing about overdue invoices, and that freed up my energy to focus on growth, creativity, and new opportunities.
Take a look at your financial world this week. Are there areas where energy is slipping away unnoticed? Identifying those areas is the first step toward sealing the leaks and reclaiming your financial power.
Have you ever felt completely drained by the end of the day, even though you didn’t do anything particularly strenuous? Maybe it feels like no matter how hard you try, you can’t get ahead—whether in your business, your personal life, or your wellness journey. I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to have the best of intentions, to hustle hard, and still feel like there’s an invisible force holding you back.
That invisible force is what I call energy leaks.
For years, I didn’t realize I was leaking energy. I thought exhaustion and burnout were just part of being an entrepreneur, a healer, a mom—essentially, part of being a human. It wasn’t until I started doing deeper inner work that I realized the problem wasn’t that I wasn’t trying hard enough. The problem was that I was bleeding energy into places I wasn’t even aware of.
SO, WHAT ARE ENERGY LEAKS?
Energy leaks are areas in your life—physical, emotional, mental, financial—where you are unintentionally losing energy. Think of them like a slow drip from a leaky faucet. At first, it seems like no big deal, but over time, that leak adds up, draining your resources, creativity, and sense of balance. It’s the things that deplete you, often without you even noticing, until one day you’re running on empty.
In my own journey, I realized I had energy leaks in several areas. Some were financial—like not having clear boundaries with clients around payments. Others were emotional—like carrying the weight of unresolved feelings. There were even mental energy leaks—repetitive, negative thought patterns that drained my focus.
THE COST OF ENERGY LEAKS
The thing about energy leaks is that they often go unnoticed until you’re completely depleted. They show up as burnout, frustration, feeling scattered, or like you’re constantly pushing a boulder uphill. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder but not getting anywhere, chances are you’ve got some energy leaks to address.
In this November blog series, I’m going to walk you through how to identify and seal these leaks—starting with recognizing the different areas where energy might be slipping away.
So, let’s get curious. Where are you losing energy in your life? This is your invitation to start paying attention, because the first step to healing an energy leak is recognizing it exists.
