If you’ve ever wondered why some “self-care” fills you up and some leaves you weirdly tired, this episode is your lightbulb moment. 💡

We’re breaking down Energy Credits vs. Disengagement...the core of my Energy Budgeting™ method and introducing a twist that will change how you think about energy forever: Micro vs. Macro Credits.

Because not everything that fuels you sets your soul on fire.

Some energy comes in sparks (macro). Some comes in sips (micro). And when you learn how your nervous system cycles between engagement and rest...dopamine and digestion, expansion and integration...you stop mistaking stimulation for nourishment.

This episode is part science, part soul work, part rebellion against burnout culture. You’ll learn:

✨ The difference between energy that activates you and energy that restores you

🧠 How your nervous system regulates energy flow through dopamine, serotonin, and safety

🌙 Why disengagement isn’t “doing nothing,” it’s nervous system recalibration

💥 How to identify your personal mix of micro + macro credits to design days that actually feel good

💌 Simple somatic cues to tell whether you need action, stillness, or softness right now

This isn’t another “rest is productive” pep talk.

It’s a nervous system blueprint for women who are done living on overdraft energy and ready to fund their lives with presence, purpose, and peace.
