How I Protect My Energy When the World Feels Too Much


Listen Later

The world feels heavy right now.

Many of us are experiencing emotional exhaustion — not because we’re doing too much, but because we’re feeling so deeply. We want to stay compassionate and awake to what’s happening in the world, without becoming numb or disconnected — but we also can’t carry everything.

In this solo episode, I explore how to protect your energy while staying compassionate, present, and human — without losing your peace in the process.

We talk about why burnout and emotional overwhelm often come from unintentional giving, not effort, and the three places our energy quietly leaks before we even notice:

  • The emotional weight we carry that isn’t meant to be held alone
  • Boundaries we feel guilty about needing — especially as leaders, caregivers, and helpers
  • Attention, we never fully reclaim through news, scrolling, and constant mental engagement

This episode is especially for high achievers and deeply caring people navigating compassion fatigue, burnout, and nervous system overload in a heavy world.

I also share a grounded reframe for caring with wisdom, discernment, and intentionality, including how daily devotion, prayer, and aligned action help me stay anchored in peace while remaining engaged and in service.

You’ll leave with reflection questions to help you notice where your energy is going — and how to gently reclaim it — plus a free Daily Alignment Template to support you in choosing your energy intentionally each day.

This episode is an invitation to stay compassionate without collapsing, and to live awake to the world while protecting your nervous system, your peace, and your purpose.
