How to Stay in Your Power When Someone’s Draining You

The Intentional Mind ™ Podcast - Career Clarity, Motivation, Energy and Intentional Living Tips for Purpose-Driven Professionals

256 - There’s nothing more exhausting than feeling like someone’s energy is pulling you down, especially when you can't just rid them out of your life given the dynamics you're in AND you’ve worked hard to protect your peace! It might be a coworker who always complains, a family member who brings tension into the room, or someone you live with who just isn’t meeting you where you are energetically. These moments really test us.

Recently, I was in one of those moments...I could feel my energy dipping, frustration rising, and my mind jumping to stories about fairness and respect. Instead of reacting, I chose something different: energy leadership. Building on Episode 255 (Busy but Not Burned Out), we’re applying that same energy-first lens to people dynamics so you can protect your peace without carrying what isn’t yours.

In this episode, we’re talking about 3 steps to take to meet this energy in a way that helps you keep your power and energy up.
