Energy Audit: Where Your Mental Energy Really Goes

In this episode, we explore where your mental energy really goes and why healthcare professionals feel so depleted. I share the story of Kate, a coaching client running her own allied health clinic while navigating the demands of the sandwich generation, and the profound exhaustion she experienced. We dive into the neuroscience of cognitive load—including how the brain uses 25% of our body's metabolic energy—and why chronic overload increases burnout risk. You'll learn practical tools for conducting your own energy audit, identifying drains, and implementing optimisation strategies using my sleep, support, mindset, and movement framework. This episode will help you understand the limits of your mental energy and what you can do to protect and replenish it.
