Send me a Text Message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/855145/fan_mail/new] Season 5 • Episode 43 Protecting Your Energy The Adapted Life: Finding Next In this episode of The Adapted Life: Finding Next, Julie explores the quiet but necessary practice of protecting your energy — especially after loss, caregiving, burnout, betrayal, trauma, or seasons of deep emotional exhaustion. As part of the Season 5 theme, Tending to the Energy, this conversation reflects on what happens when we become more aware of where our energy is going… and realize that not everything deserves full access to us. Julie shares gentle reflections about emotional labor, boundaries, overstimulation, compassion fatigue, and the pressure many sensitive people feel to constantly give, explain, fix, or carry. This episode offers permission to step back without guilt, to honor your nervous system, and to recognize that boundaries are not punishment — they are stewardship. Through calming encouragement and thoughtful insight, listeners are invited to consider: • What restores versus drains them • The hidden cost of constant giving • Why protecting your peace is an act of healing • How grief and trauma can change our capacity• The importance of creating space for recovery, creativity, and presence This episode is a reminder that protecting your energy is not selfish — it is part of tending the light within you. You, are not the weather, you dear friends, are the lighthouse.  Take a breath, settle in, and join Julie for a gentle conversation about honoring your limits, reclaiming your peace, and learning that you are allowed to protect what is sacred in you.

Tending to your energy

Send me a Text Message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/855145/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we talk about what we do once we are experiencing awareness of our energy.  Not fixing it, but just being aware of gentle ways to tend to that energy.  WHAT TENDING IS Tending to your energy is not about fixing yourself. It’s not about getting it right. It’s about noticing… and responding… with care. Moment by moment.   Gentle self care, can sometimes lessen the impact that your energy may have on you.   Join me as I continue to follow the intuitive path through deep and tragic grief towards where life is pulling me next.  And maybe you can resonate with this journey.   I am so grateful that you are here.  Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/juliehasselberger] https://www.etsy.com/shop/DanielsSpecialArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav [https://www.etsy.com/shop/DanielsSpecialArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQr7Ot0J0o6_gRnG_fJvzDg [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQr7Ot0J0o6_gRnG_fJvzDg]

Where does your energy go?

Send me a Text Message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/855145/fan_mail/new] EPISODE DESCRIPTION Have you ever reached the end of the day and wondered why you feel so exhausted… even when you didn’t “do” that much? In this episode, we explore a deeper understanding of energy—not just physical, but emotional, mental, and relational. Because often, it’s not about how much you’re doing… it’s aboutwhat you’re carrying. We gently look at the invisible ways your energy gets pulled—and begin to shift toward awareness. This is not about fixing everything. It’s about noticing. And from that place, beginning to understand what truly drains you… and what restores you. In upcoming episodes we will work on not only awareness of your energy, but how to tend to it.  Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/juliehasselberger] https://www.etsy.com/shop/DanielsSpecialArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav [https://www.etsy.com/shop/DanielsSpecialArt?ref=seller-platform-mcnav] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQr7Ot0J0o6_gRnG_fJvzDg [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQr7Ot0J0o6_gRnG_fJvzDg]
