She also shares why it's crucial to recognise which season your body and mind are in, and how aligning with that seasons can actually accelerate your growth

Feeling drained or depleted is our body's way of telling us there is something that requires our attention and is a signal to enquire within.

Many of us brush off these signals as if "that's just life" or "life is hard" but this doesn't need to be the case, our bodies are always communicating with us and it's important to pay attention to what it's trying to highlight. It could be that
- You're giving more than you're receiving.
- You're not doing enough of what excites you
or
- You need to make a change, and start a new chapter, but you're perhaps a little fearful and holding on to the previous one for too long.

When you can recognise these feelings, then you can address them and start making changes to be your natural, energised, and magnetic self. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
