The Power of Pruning — Making Space for Who You’re Becoming

257 - There comes a point in every growth season where you realize not everything can come with you. Whether it’s a commitment, a project, a friendship, or even a mindset, you start to feel the pull to let go of what’s draining your energy so you can redirect it toward what really matters. That’s the essence of the pruning season. In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to be in a pruning season and why it’s actually a sign of growth, not failure. You’ll learn how to identify what’s no longer aligned, release what’s stealing your energy, and create the boundaries that make room for your next level. It’s not always pretty. Pruning can be uncomfortable, uncertain, and even painful at times, but it’s how you make space for the fruit you actually want to grow. If you’re a high achieving woman or mom juggling a lot, this one’s for you. It’s a permission slip to stop pouring energy into what’s not working and start intentionally cultivating what will. In this episode, you’ll learn:• How to recognize when you’re in a pruning season (and not mistake it for a setback)• The difference between quitting and pruning• How to create boundaries that protect your peace and energy• A mindset shift to help you release what’s no longer aligned without guilt• Real stories from my own pruning season that might just mirror yours Let’s ConnectEmail: [email protected]: @angbarnard Like the show?

How to Stay in Your Power When Someone’s Draining You

256 - There’s nothing more exhausting than feeling like someone’s energy is pulling you down, especially when you can't just rid them out of your life given the dynamics you're in AND you’ve worked hard to protect your peace! It might be a coworker who always complains, a family member who brings tension into the room, or someone you live with who just isn’t meeting you where you are energetically. These moments really test us. Recently, I was in one of those moments...I could feel my energy dipping, frustration rising, and my mind jumping to stories about fairness and respect. Instead of reacting, I chose something different: energy leadership. Building on Episode 255 (Busy but Not Burned Out), we’re applying that same energy-first lens to people dynamics so you can protect your peace without carrying what isn’t yours. In this episode, we’re talking about 3 steps to take to meet this energy in a way that helps you keep your power and energy up. Missed last week?

Handling a Busy Season Without Feeling Burnt Out or Stressed - 3 Ways to Shift Your Energy

255 - We all go through busy seasons...the kind where work piles up, family needs more of you, and life just feels like a lot. That’s exactly the season I’m in right now: navigating career growth, motherhood, exploring a move, managing a household, and more - all at once. And while it would be easy to meet that busyness with stress and frustration, here’s the truth: stress isn’t a requirement. The energy we bring into the season matters more than the size of the to do list. In this episode, I’m sharing the three strategies that are helping me walk through one of the busiest seasons of my life with more peace and presence while still getting things done. Inside this episode, we will talk about: Prioritizing what actually matters most (and release what doesn’t). Communicating your needs and protecting your energy. Meeting draining, catabolic energy with love and grace instead of matching it. Real stories from my own season of career growth, motherhood, moving, and managing a household and the energy shifts keeping me grounded through it all. Busy doesn’t have to mean burned out. With a few intentional shifts, you can move through a full season with clarity, peace, and the energy to actually enjoy it. Let’s ConnectEmail: [email protected]: @angbarnard Like the show?

The 3 fears that block your progress and drain your energy (and how to overcome them). Simple shifts to help you stay energized, joyful, and confident in the waiting. How to be a faith-filled, confident person that thrives in uncertainty. Stories and tools to help you embrace the “not yet” season instead of fighting it.
