  • 6 - Managing Your Energy
    Jun 6 2025

    Welcome to Episode 6! This week, Kelly unpacks what it means to shift from reacting to change to choosing how you move through it, especially during seasons like “Maycember,” when life feels especially chaotic.

    She shares how a simple check-in, what she calls the “State of Your State”, can release pressure, help you respond to change more intentionally, and create space for personal growth.
