Summary
I'm diving into the concept of energetic self-perception with my friend and colleague, Karen McMahon. According to Karen, we are, at our core, walking balls of energy, constantly shifting between two primary states: our everyday selves and our stress-response selves. Karen returns to the podcast to discuss the seven levels of energy, a framework that can help you recognize where you are on the emotional scale and how to move toward awareness and empowerment.
Karen shares how our thoughts, feelings, and actions are deeply connected and how understanding that can help us navigate divorce, co-parenting, and life post-breakup. Many of us stay trapped in old energetic patterns, reacting to our exes the same way we did during the marriage—but that's a choice. This conversation is all about reframing your perspective to shift your energy and create real, lasting change.
You'll also hear:
- Understanding the seven levels of energy and how they shape your mindset (4:28)
- Why shifting out of victim mode is key to reclaiming your power (8:32)
- The difference between cooperation and acceptance in healing (14:25)
- Moving from external validation to inner trust and self-empowerment (36:13)
