I'm excited to share my insights with you on this topic: Letting go of desperate energy. We will explore the effects of operating from a place of desperation and how it hinders our personal growth and success. Join me as we discover the power of embracing authenticity and surrendering to the flow of life.

I discuss the pitfalls of operating in a space of desperation or greed, which can cause a loss of self-awareness, manifest ego, and impact relationships negatively. If you are feeling desperate energy, I recommend patience, self-awareness, and staying focused on the personal journey rather than the end goal. 

By leaning into the discomfort of the process and regularly checking in on goals and feelings, one can manage personal growth more effectively. In this episode, I also addresses societal pressures from social media and the importance of taking breaks. You'll hear me discuss the need to balance surrender and trust with hard work in order to effectively navigate the journey towards one's goals.

Here's a recap of the episode:

00:15 Checking In and Setting Goals

01:56 Understanding Desperate Energy
