Energy is your currency. Are you overspending?

The last few weeks have been interesting in the best way possible.

I haven’t traveled at all. Instead, I’ve had the chance to really dig into my community right here in Nashville.

This has meant connecting with coworkers, my church family, and close friends. It’s been a solid reminder of how vital in-person connection is, but it also taught me a massive lesson: You need to be the leader of your own energy.

Here’s how this week looked:

My extended team of about 30 of us under the same director, finally gathered in person for the first time in two years. We had people flying in from the West Coast all the way to Toronto.

The excitement was real!

From Monday to Thursday, it was non-stop. We were out the door early for activities and I didn’t get back until 9:30 PM at the earliest every single night.

Now, as an ambivert, this pushed me to my absolute limits and it made me realized something about myself:

When I’m around people with similar interests, it fuels me. But in large groups where that alignment isn’t as tight, it can be draining.

In the past, I would have just "powered through" and ended the week completely burnt out.

This time, I chose a different play:

• Micro-Recharges: I took small windows of time between activities to unplug and just be.

• Strategic Socializing: I was intentional about seeking out the people who energized me, including my work best friend who was in town this week.

• The Friday Reset: I protected my peace and recharged more by staying home all day Friday and most of Saturday.

Relationships and sacrifices are necessary for growth, but you can’t show up well if you’re running on empty. It’s all about prioritization and balance.

Speaking of showing up well...

In this week’s episode, I’m diving deep into how to be successful in Corporate America without losing yourself in the process. It ties perfectly into managing your energy and your network.
