Listen "Episode 5: Energy Leaks Part 1"
Episode Synopsis
If you're constantly feeling drained despite doing everything right, it's not because you're doing too much—it's because your energy is being mismanaged.Think of energetic leaks like drips in a leaky faucet. One drip doesn't seem like much, but over time you've lost gallons of water. Except here, the water is your focus, patience, productivity, and joy. These tiny, often invisible drains on your mental, emotional, and physical energy pile up until you're running on fumes, leading to burnout and that constant sense of being behind no matter how much you accomplish.As a recovered overachiever who's been exactly where you are, I know what it's like to feel flat and disconnected despite checking all the boxes. In this first episode of our three-part series, I'm breaking down the first three energy leaks that are easy to seal once you become aware of them: the mental load of incomplete tasks (it's not about having them, it's about holding them in your mind), compulsive phone checking that fragments your attention, and physical clutter that creates visual noise your brain has to constantly process.The solution isn't more time management techniques or surface-level boundaries. It's about understanding what's actually draining you and taking personal responsibility for plugging these leaks. I share why meditation isn't optional if you want real change, and why your resistance to certain solutions probably means you need them most.Key Topics:Mental load of incomplete tasks and surrendering to your to-do listCompulsive phone checking and the underlying need for distractionPhysical clutter as visual noise that affects your wellbeingWhy meditation is non-negotiable for focus and presenceTaking personal responsibility for your energy management"The stronger your reaction is against a particular solution, the more your body probably needs it."Feeling overwhelmed because you're responsible for everything under the sun? Take the Energy Leaks Quiz to uncover what's really stealing your energy in just 2 minutes.Connect with Dasha:Website: coachingbydasha.comLinkedIn: Dasha Tcherniakovskaia
