Stop Saying Yes When You Want to Say No! (Follow THESE Clear Boundaries to Protect Your Energy)
Descripción del Episodio
Today, Jay breaks down why so many of us feel drained, overwhelmed, and burned out, and what it really means to protect your energy. He begins by unpacking the quiet habits that drain us without us realizing it: overgiving, overcommitting, mistaking busyness for worth, and confusing being agreeable with being kind. Jay reminds us that our energy is our currency, and whether we notice it or not, we’re spending it with every text, every thought, and every interaction. The people in our lives either expand us or exhaust us, and often, our bodies recognize the truth long before our minds catch up.
Jay then breaks down the subtle relationship dynamics that quietly drain our energy. From emotional dumping and boundary testing to one-sided support and situational friendships, he explains how these patterns, often unintentional, slowly wear us down. He also turns the focus inward, revealing how we drain ourselves by seeking approval, avoiding discomfort, and trying to earn love through overextending. Protecting your peace isn’t about cutting people off, it’s about ending the cycle of self-betrayal that keeps you exhausted.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to Protect Your Energy Daily
How to Stop Overextending Yourself
How to Respond When Someone Drains Your Energy
How to Run a Weekly Energy Audit
How to Build Physical, Emotional, and Energetic Boundaries
Take a moment today to breathe, recalibrate, and return to yourself. You deserve to feel grounded, clear, and whole. The more you honor your own capacity, the more you’ll show up in the world with the warmth, clarity, and presence you’ve been searching for.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty

Blunt Force Trauma
By shows
Blunt Force Trauma is a new serialised investigation into the unsolved murder of Faithe Ely, from EchoSpace and host Troy Taylor (from award winning podcast Among The Missing). On March 28, 2021, Faith Ely was found lifeless on the side of a dark Oklahoma highway, her death quickly being ruled a hit and run. But the evidence doesn’t line up. The injuries don’t tell a clear story. And the more you dig, the harder it becomes to make sense of the official narrative. What should be a straightforward accident begins to feel anything but…
