Nourishing Your Energy Sources with Cathy Christen

In this popular re-aired episode, Alison talks with Cathy Christen about self-care through the lens of energy, health, and intentional living and their conversation focuses on how nourishing ourselves can come from more than just sleep, food, and exercise.Cathy shares her background in entrepreneurship and explains that after years of pushing hard, she became burnt out and realized that success was not sustainable if she ignored her own wellbeing.They discuss the idea that energy has several parts: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Cathy describes how joy, meaningful relationships, mindfulness, and prayer all contribute to how she feels each day, along with practical habits like time blocking and choosing what matters most.She also explains how her approach changed after having children. Instead of following a rigid routine, she adapted her mornings to include meditation, affirmations, shared family time, and trade-offs with her husband so both of them can care for themselves.They close with practical guidance for listeners who feel overwhelmed. Cathy encourages starting with a clear reason for wanting better health, making a dreams list, finding support through a mentor or community, and being honest about what is draining versus what is life-giving.HIGHLIGHTS:0:06 Energy and Self-Care Reset3:39 Beyond Physical Energy6:04 New Mom, New Routine7:27 Four Kinds of Energy10:01 Fueling What Matters12:48 Finding Your Why15:03 Dream Big, Live Intentionally17:53 Life on Purpose19:22 Delegate the Drain22:04 Forgiveness and Healing25:01 Start With a Mentor27:25 Make Time by Choice29:30 Closing Thoughts on Prioritiesconnect with Cathywebsite: https://cathychristen.comLife As A Masterpiece book: https://a.co/d/06uMkQOWSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution
