It's not the traffic. It's not your inbox. It's not your coworker who can't seem to reply to a simple email.

By lunch, you're already running on fumes and everything that shows up after that just catches the shrapnel.

You've been handing out your energy all morning to anything that asked for it, and now you're sitting there wondering why you're irritated and scattered and can't take a full breath.

Here's what's actually happening: your mental and emotional energy isn't unlimited.

And you've been spending it like it is.

This episode is for you if:

- You end most days feeling depleted but can't point to anything that was actually that hard

- You've snapped at someone and immediately thought "where did that even come from"

- You check your phone first thing in the morning and somehow you're already behind before you've had coffee

- You're technically busy all day but nothing important actually got done

- You keep telling yourself you're just tired, and you are, but not for the reasons you think

If you're tired of ending every day wondering where your energy went, the self-coaching guide for this episode will help you figure that out. It's got the reflection questions and reframes to actually use what you heard today not just think about it.

If someone in your life runs out of f*cks to give by 10am, send this to them. They need it more than they'll admit.

About Pamela Hughes:

Pamela Hughes spent 20 years as a talk show host before walking away to do the one thing she actually wanted to do — help people get out of their own way.

She's a certified life coach and the CMO (Chief Mindset Officer) for business owners and team leaders who are smart, capable, and somehow still stuck. She works with people who already know what to do and can't figure out why they're not doing it. That gap? That's exactly where she lives.

She's been there herself. Walked away from a career that looked great from the outside. Did the hard work of stopping the excuses, taking full responsibility, and building something real. She's not going to tell you it was easy. She's also not going to tell you it's complicated — because it's not.

What she will tell you is the truth. And follow her long enough, you'll start telling it to yourself.
