Eps 35: The magic formula of energy in vs energy out

Season 1, Ep. 35

I am a firm believer in the magic formula of energy in equals energy out.

It’s simple. And it works.

And I’m seeing it firsthand for myself again.

After a little break from focusing on it, I just love the power of what can happen.


In this episode you will learn:
  • The concept of energy you invest in various aspects of your life directly influences the outcomes you receive.
  • How focusing on positive thoughts and intentions can attract similar positive experiences.
  • Why positive beliefs coupled with wholehearted effort lead to successful outcomes
  • The importance of adapting to change, giving oneself grace, and recognizing shifts in identity.
  • The power of consistency as a tool for shifting mindset and attracting positive energy.
