What if energy wasn’t just about how much sleep you got or whether you’ve eaten enough? What if the real drain on your energy was coming from somewhere else entirely – like the emotional weight you carry, the pressure to perform, or the quiet noise of overthinking that never switches off?

In this episode, I chat with Sadia Ghazanfar – coach, speaker, and founder of Slay Your Dragons – to explore what energy really means for sensitive people. We talk about how it drains, how to restore it, and why trying to ‘get it right’ often misses the point.

Sadia works with mid-career women to help them quiet their inner critic and lead with courage, especially in spaces that weren’t built for them. Her approach blends lived experience with grounded tools, helping people lead without burning out or leaving parts of themselves at the door.

What we talk about in this episode:

• How deep processing impacts energy for sensitive people
• Practical ways to spot energy leaks and recalibrate
• Why self-care isn’t about doing more (and how it links to perfectionism)
• The pressure to optimise and how to opt out
• Reclaiming joy, rest, and your own pace of life
