77 How to Free Up Your Energy by Closing Energy Leaks in Your Life
This cat is cleaning up its side of the street.
Fans of Star Wars will get a kick out of the first part of this episode. We geek out over Baby Yoda and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, including how Siena made (and then resolved in a brilliant way) a big mistake she made when purchasing a Baby Yoda sweatshirt.
We then turn to the main topic of closing Energy Leaks in your life.
Can you see how Yoda’s flipping the bird behind Siena’s Sharpie-drawn heart???
Closing Energy Leaks In Your Life

We all know how it feels to have incomplete issues dragging our energy down.
They can be very straightforward things like hanging a picture, or getting new batteries for the bathroom scale.
They’re practical matters that pretty much require mostly your time. Time to schedule, or do, or delegate. A lot of times, the discomfort of thinking about doing them is 10x worse than the discomfort of actually doing them.
In this episode, we talk about why that is and share some of our current incomplete issues.
And we also share what’s worked really well for us to close one particular open loop that a lot of us live with at this time of year: writing thank you cards.
Closing Energy Leaks with People
Energy leaks can also be much more complicated, touchy, and nuanced.
When it’s a personal relationship, it can get way more trepidatious, and require way more work, on top of your time.
We call this work cleaning up your side of the street.
This is spiritual work.
It can include forgiving, blessing or wishing a person well, apologizing, thanking, or forgiving someone, yet again (for the umpteenth time).
We share our thoughts and experiences when it comes to doing this kind of work.
For example, deciding whether or not to contact someone from our past, or confront someone with an issue that’s been bothering us.
Also, dealing with the voice of self-doubt that can sabotage our efforts to forgive: did you really forgive?
We hope this discussion helps you in closing energy leaks in your life
