Episode 450 - Why Certain People Drain Your Energy - The Science (And What To Do About It)
You know the person.
The one whose name on your phone makes your whole body tighten before you even pick up.
The one who can walk into a room and somehow take all the air out of it.
That's not you being too sensitive.
That's your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do - and once you understand why, you stop trying to think your way out of it and start actually changing how it affects you.
This episode is the science behind why certain people drain your capacity and others restore it - and two specific moves that change how you show up in even your most difficult relationships.
What You'll Learn
• Why certain people drain your energy and others restore it. • What's actually happening in your nervous system when you're around a difficult person. • How to use this understanding to protect your capacity in relationships you can't opt out of.
