Running our lives on renewable energy

This week’s renewable energy news has shown us once again that the transition to clean, climate-friendly energy sources is not only vital for humanity and the planet but a bona fide economic win-win for all.

But it makes me think once again how so many of us who are dedicating so much of our energy to creating sustainable, thriving social and economic systems are ourselves still running our lives on internal fossil fuels โ€“ burnout, overwhelm, shame, inadequacy, and self-abandonment. We still believe that to make our contribution to the world, we must sacrifice our peace and well-being.

I promise you: It does not have to be this way. In fact, not only is it possible to run our life’s work on clean, renewable, internal energy, it is actually perhaps the most important thing we can do to make a meaningful, nourishing, and truly sustainable contribution over the long haul.

If you’re wanting to make your own shift to internal renewable energy, let’s chat! I would so love to support you so you can make your highest contribution to the world, while waking up in the morning inspired, energized, and truly loving what you do.
