166: How to spot a spiritual energy vampire (& how to protect your energy)

Y’all, today’s episode is going to light up your inner fire. We’re diving into a topic that I’ve never shared on the podcast before, but it’s something so many of you have asked about—how to spot spiritual energy vampires and, more importantly, how to protect your energy.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the two types of energy vampires you might encounter: the ones with malicious intent and the ones who are just wounded, unconsciously draining you. You’ll learn how to identify these people (or even groups) in your life, how social media can suck your energy, and most importantly, how to stand in your power by setting boundaries.

We’re going deep into understanding how energy vampires show up in your life, from subtle emotional drains to full-on soul-sucking vibes. And here’s the thing—it’s not just about other people. I’m calling us all out (myself included) because sometimes we play the role of energy vampires too. Yup, I went there.

If you’ve ever felt drained after interacting with someone or just scrolling through your feed, this episode is for you. So, grab your journal, press play, and get ready to learn how to protect your precious energy. This one is going to hit home, y’all.
