Mastering Energy and Priorities for Career Growth and Personal Bliss

In this episode, we dive deep into the art and science of building capacity - the secret sauce to living your fullest and boldest life.

Why Does Capacity Matter?

When we talk about capacity, we're not just talking about having enough time or energy. Oh no, Bold Souls, it’s way deeper than that. Capacity encompasses your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual reservoirs. It’s the energy, resilience, and focus you need to nurture your relationships, excel in your career, and pursue personal growth.

What are the Common Pitfalls?

Let’s get real. Too often, we women find ourselves overcommitted. We're everything to everyone - family, work, friends, and yes, even those volunteer roles. When was the last time you paused and asked yourself: “Am I overcommitting at the expense of my own joy?” I know, it's a hard question. But necessary.

Are You Tripping Over Perfectionism?

The pressure to be perfect is real, sis. I’ve been there - spending 72 hours prepping for corporate training because I thought every detail had to be flawless. It wasn’t until I realized that my audience valued my expertise far more than my obsession with perfect details that I brought my prep time down to 6 hours. Talk about creating space for joy and rest!

Boundaries and Protecting Your Emotional Space

One of the toughest lessons I’ve learned is setting boundaries, especially in relationships. Yes, it’s uncomfortable, but it’s essential. Authentic connections are vital; they nourish your soul. So, take a hard look at your relationships and let go of those that drain you. Use boundaries to protect your emotional space. And remember, you are responsible for the toxic relationships you allow to persist in your life.

Live with Intention

The journey towards building capacity isn’t a one-time affair; it’s continuous. Evaluate your priorities, say no more often, and manage your energy meticulously. Conduct a life audit to identify areas that no longer serve your growth. And for the love of all things BOLD, embrace change! It’s not a nemesis but an opportunity for growth.
