Are you a woman who often feels stressed out, overwhelmed, and worn out? Do you find yourself constantly battling fatigue, with doctors telling you it's normal?
Well, I have some important news for you! In this blog post, I'm going to share with you seven compelling reasons why boosting your energy is crucial, and how I can help you regain your vitality and live an exceptional life. So, let's dive right in!
Reason #1: Energy is the Fuel for Life
Energy is the driving force behind everything we do. Whether it's taking care of our loved ones, pursuing our passions, or simply enjoying the daily activities we love, energy is what powers us. Without adequate energy, we become easily overwhelmed, stressed, and unable to meet the demands of our busy lives.
Reason #2: Break Free from Fatigue
Feeling perpetually tired is not normal, despite what some doctors may say. Fatigue is often a sign that something is out of balance in our bodies. By providing natural support to your body's energy systems, you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to conquer the day.
Reason #3: Restore Your Body's Natural Energy Flow
Stress, toxins, and a lack of self-care can disrupt the flow of energy in our bodies, leaving us feeling depleted and exhausted. It's important to know the available energy sources that can keep the energy flowing and restore balance.
Reason #4: Boost Your Mental Clarity and Focus
Low energy levels can impact more than just your physical state. They can also affect your mental clarity and focus. Discovering simple energy boosters to help you stay mentally sharp and focused throughout the day can make a significant difference.
Reason #5: Enhance Your Mood and Emotional Well-being
Lack of energy can take a toll on your mood and emotional well-being. Establishing a daily routine that uplifts your spirits, reduces stress, and improves your overall emotional well-being can lead to increased energy levels.
Reason #6: Boost Your Immune System
Fatigue weakens your immune system, making you susceptible to illness and infections. By boosting your energy levels, you're also providing support to your immune system, strengthening your body's natural defenses, and keeping you healthy.
Reason #7: Embrace a Healthier, More Vibrant Lifestyle
Finally, having more energy allows you to embrace a healthier, more vibrant lifestyle. Imagine living an exceptional life where you have the energy to do what you love with those you love. Whether it's going for a walk, hiking, playing games, or pursuing your dreams of traveling, the possibilities are endless when you have the energy to live life to the fullest.
So, there you have it! Seven compelling reasons why boosting your energy matters. If you're tired of feeling worn out and want to reclaim your energy, make sure to join me for one of my monthly More Energy! Masterclasses. Each month, I share five energy sources, five energy boosters, two secrets, and one easy button to help you on your journey.

The heart is amazing! Whether you are looking at it from a spiritual, emotional, or physical perspective your heart is a sign of life.
The question today: "How do you know your heart is stressed?"
5 Signs Your Heart is Stressed
You're more tired than usual
You might be tired because of stress if you:
- Have a hard time sleeping.
- Feel exhausted after a full night's sleep.
- Have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, even though you've slept well and feel rested.
- Feel like your energy level has dropped dramatically over the last few months or years.
(If you would like my Sleep Notes you can click here to read them or text SLEEP to 405-655-5424)
You feel anxious or depressed
If you're feeling anxious or depressed, it's likely that your heart is stressed. Anxiety is a feeling of fear, nervousness, or uneasiness that can be triggered by something specific (like an upcoming meeting) or generalized (the stress of everyday life). Depression is also characterized by low mood and aversion to activity.
(If you are curious about how stressed you are you can check out my Stress Quiz here.)
You have trouble concentrating
- Stress can make it hard to focus on one thing.
- Brain fog or headaches can also be a sign.
You notice it's harder to make decisions
The process of decision-making is a complex one and can be influenced by stress. Stress can interfere with your ability to think clearly, which is why many people feel confused or overwhelmed when they are under stress. It might seem like an easy fix: just take some time off and relax! However, if we are having a hard time making decisions it's hard to know what to do or how to relax. Often it's a Heart-Brain connection issue and that has to be connected to lower the stress and heal.
You have chest pain or palpitations
Chest pain or palpitations are often the wake-up call symptoms. Yes, they can be a sign of a heart attack and also common symptoms of other cardiovascular diseases, including heart disease and arrhythmia. But, so can anxiety and overwhelm.
If you are having chest pain- often described as a squeezing sensation in the chest that may radiate to other areas of your body (such as arms or shoulders) then it's always a good idea to see a doctor.
Palpitations are an awareness of your heartbeat--you might feel like it's racing or skipping beats--and they're usually harmless unless accompanied by other symptoms like shortness of breath or sweating profusely, again always good to get checked out.
If you do experience any of these symptoms your heart is stressed.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor. Your heart is an important organ- it's needed to live and it can be stressed out by many factors in your life. If your doctor has given you a "normal" diagnosis or told you to lower your stress - that's always a catch-22. If you knew how to lower your stress you probably wouldn't be having the symptoms in the first place.
However, a "normal" diagnosis does not mean your heart is not stressed. Don't ignore the 5 Signs Your Heart is Stressed. Be happy that you are listening to the symptoms before you receive a diagnosis and have an opportunity to make a change. If you have been given a diagnosis- medications are not necessarily going to lower your stress- just the symptoms.

I hope this information has helped you understand that these signs and symptoms are signs your heart- whether spiritual, emotional, or physical is stressed. And if you don't know how to lower your stress well that's where I come in. As a stress expert, I am all about finding solutions to living a life of less stress and more energy- what I call an exceptional life. Because I think we can all agree "normal" is highly overrated.

Is your body telling you it doesn’t feel safe?
When your body is stressed, it is telling you it doesn't feel safe. This is because your body is an incredible survival machine, and it's always on high alert for danger. That means that even if you're just sitting in a comfortable chair, if your stress response is activated your body feels there is a threat.
It's important to know that this is normal and healthy—in fact, it's what keeps you safe and has helped keep you alive. But in today's world, it can cause problems because your body is often responding to perceived threats or past threats that are no longer a threat or these alarms are going off because there is a danger within and you are ignoring the signs and blaming the external stressors of the world.

10 Signs Your Body Doesn’t Feel Safe
1. You feel frustrated or agitated.
Many women feel frustrated or agitated when their physical surroundings don't provide them with a feeling of safety. It's not uncommon to feel this way - everyone has been in a situation where they felt unsafe. Your body holds these experiences and may be easily triggered by a smell, sound, touch, sight, or even taste that reminds it of the experience and you may not even remember or understand why.
2. You have muscle tension or pain.
Your muscles are your body's first line of defense, and when they're tense, it's because your body doesn't feel safe. When these messages are sent to your muscles frequently, over time they can become so strong that they are difficult to overcome, even when there is no real threat present.
3. You suffer from anxiety or depression.
You suffer from anxiety or depression when your body doesn't feel safe. But what does that mean, exactly? It's not just about the stressors in your life, especially what’s going on outside of you, but what's going on inside of you. This can happen for a variety of reasons: trauma, genetic predisposition, nutritional deficiencies, or a lack of sleep can all be internal stressors preventing you from feeling safe. And it isn't always easy to figure out why this is happening to you—but that doesn't mean there isn't a solution.
4. You have trouble falling asleep at night or trouble sleeping through the night without waking up multiple times. 
It's possible that your body doesn't feel safe. When your mind is worried about something, whether it be a real threat or a perceived one, it will not let you sleep as deeply as it normally would so that you can react to danger quickly. This means that even if you get into bed, your body will still be on alert and unable to fully rest.
5. You get sick more often than others around you do.
You feel you're always getting sick. There could be a reason you're falling ill so often: Your body doesn't feel safe. When you feel threatened, your body releases chemicals called stress hormones into your bloodstream so that you can fight or flee from the threat at hand. These chemicals are meant to help you survive an attack—they send messages to your brain telling it what action is needed in order for you to make it out alive. But when these chemicals stay active for too long, they can literally wear down your body over time by making it weaker and less able to fight off infection.
6. You feel like your body isn't performing as well as it used to—you are more tired with the same amount of activities.
Your body knows that something feels different and therefore it reacts differently. And when something feels different in your life (even if you don't know why), your body acts accordingly by conserving energy and resources until it feels safe again. While you may feel nothing has changed in your life, something has changed in your body.
7. You feel like your moods are out of control—you go from low to high.
When you are in a situation where you feel unsafe, your body reacts by sending you a signal: Fight, Flight, or Freeze. These options are designed to protect you from danger, but unfortunately, not very effective when it comes to dealing with emotions. This is often because we are focusing more on our emotions than how our body is feeling and what it needs to feel safe. This means taking the time to stop and become aware of how your body is feeling and even asking, How can I best support myself right here, right now?
8. Your appetite has shifted drastically, either you find yourself eating more than usual or eating less.
When your body doesn’t feel safe, it is constantly adapting. Your appetite is one of the first things that will change when your body is trying to adjust. This can be caused by several factors, including changes in hormones or diet. It might also be because your body is trying to tell you something. Your stomach doesn't know whether it's safe for you to eat—so it locks down and tells you not to eat (or not too much). This is a normal response when we feel threatened. The body protects itself from harm by shutting down digestion and diverting energy toward other functions (like running away). If you're experiencing extreme hunger or extreme fullness, ask yourself what your body is needing right now to help it feel more safe and it may have nothing to do with food.
9. You're always cold, even when it's warm out.
Your body is constantly trying to keep you alive, and it does this by constantly monitoring the environment around you. If it senses danger, it will attempt to lower your body temperature in order to slow down your metabolism and reduce energy expenditure.
10. When you eat something sweet, your blood sugar spikes quickly and then crashes, leaving you feeling shaky and tired.
The chemical actions of sugar move you into a stressed state. Yes, your body moves into the "fight or flight" response because of the sugar rush, your body believes you must not be safe and you now have extra energy to protect yourself. The question is what are you protecting yourself from? Once your body realizes that the danger has passed (sugar has dropped) your body crashes, leaving you feeling shaky and tired- much like you just finished fighting a tiger or running a race. Even if you never got up from the table.If you have any of these 10 signs showing up in your life. Know that your first step is helping your body feel more safe.
How do I help my body feel more safe?
Great question. For years, I didn’t know the answer and after going through several programs including Somatic Training, I began to use powerful exercises to help my body feel more safe. Now when I begin to feel stressed, I know that my body doesn’t feel safe. I don’t just tell my body it’s safe now. I show it. As it feels safer. I feel the shift. Then I know I can move on toward less stress, more energy, and an exceptional life.
