Always Tired? 4 Ways to Go from Exhausted to Energized
It’s Monday morning, and the alarm goes off. How do you feel? Go from Exhausted to Energized!
A) Hit snooze, pull the covers over your head, and wish it were the weekend?
B) Jump out of bed feeling refreshed and ready for the day?
If you relate to option A, you’re not alone. Fatigue isn’t always about doing too much. According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, one in five people feel unusually tired at any given time, and women experience it more often than men.
The good news? There’s a way out of exhaustion. I see women reclaim their energy every day. Here’s how one of them, Sonia, transformed her health.
4 Ways to Go from Exhausted to Energized
1. Strengthen Your Cells for Lasting Energy
Sonia’s body was struggling because her cell membranes were weak and damaged. These membranes allow nutrients to fuel the body, but when they break down, energy levels plummet.
Common causes include:
- Poor fat digestion or gallbladder issues
- Not eating enough healthy fats
- Protein deficiencies from improper food combinations
The solution? Identify and support digestion, absorption, and nutrition to restore cellular function.
2. Address Adrenal Fatigue & Stop Running on Empty
For years, Sonia had been pushing through exhaustion, relying on caffeine, sugar, and willpower. This only drained her more. Adrenal exhaustion is common in busy women, especially working moms.
Breaking the cycle requires:
- Replenishing missing nutrients
- Supporting the thyroid and gut health
- Finding sustainable ways to boost energy naturally
3. Break Free from Self-Sabotaging Patterns
Sonia had unknowingly developed habits that fueled burnout. To heal, she needed to prioritize herself and adopt energizing habits:
- Eating nourishing foods and staying hydrated
- Moving her body daily
- Laughing, relaxing, and spending time outdoors
- Setting boundaries and allowing time for self-care
4. Heal Your Gut for Better Energy & Mood
After years of digestive struggles, Sonia had been diagnosed with IBS. Testing revealed food intolerances and an imbalance in gut bacteria. Through a 6-week gut repair program, her symptoms disappeared.
As her digestion improved, so did her energy, mood, and focus. No more sugar cravings or sudden crashes—just steady, natural energy.
Are You Ready to Thrive?
Within weeks, Sonia felt like herself again—calm, energized, and empowered. If you’re tired of running on empty, it’s time to stop saying “I’m fine” and start taking action.
You deserve to feel amazing. Let’s make it happen.

Lost My Passion for Life? Here’s How to Reignite Your Spark
Reignite Your Spark! Feeling Exhausted and Uninspired? You’re Not Alone
Reignite Your Spark! Have you lost your spark? Feeling worn out, drained, and unmotivated? If you find yourself reminiscing about the past, longing for the energy, optimism, and drive you once had, you’re not alone.
Perhaps you’re running on caffeine and sugar, juggling work, family, and responsibilities, only to crash at the end of the day. You might even look in the mirror and wonder, “Where did my passion go?”
But here’s the truth—your spark isn’t gone; it’s simply buried under exhaustion and neglect. It’s time to prioritize yourself again. When you do, not only will you feel better, but those around you will notice the difference too.
Ready to find your fire again? Let’s dive in.
6 Steps to Reignite Your Spark
1. Gain Clarity on What You Truly Want
Start by imagining your ideal life in five, ten, or fifteen years. What does it look like? How do you feel? Let this vision fuel your motivation every day.
Now, take stock of your current reality. Identify three small but meaningful changes you can make in the next three months to move closer to that vision.
💡 Tip: Focus and consistency will help you create real change. One step at a time!
2. Boost Your Energy—It’s the Foundation of Everything
Feeling depleted? Your body and mind need energy to function at their best. If you’re constantly tired, ask yourself:
- Are you low in iron?
- Making poor food choices?
- Dehydrated or sleep-deprived?
- Struggling with gut issues, chronic pain, or food intolerances?
If you answered yes to any of these, it’s time to address the root causes. Seeing a naturopath can help you get back on track.

3. Create Daily Rituals to Stay on Track
Wishful thinking won’t bring back your motivation—consistent habits will. Establish morning and evening rituals to keep you focused and energized.
Over time, these rituals will become second nature, helping you stay disciplined, productive, and positive.
💡 Need guidance? Let’s create a plan together!
4. Declutter & Let Go of What’s Holding You Back
Clear out what’s weighing you down—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether it’s clutter in your home, toxic relationships, or negative thoughts, it’s time to release what no longer serves you.
🛑 Set a timer, grab some boxes, and adopt a “this has to go” mindset. You’ll feel lighter and more free.
5. Prioritize Rest & Recharge Your Mind and Body
You can’t pour from an empty cup. If you keep giving without replenishing your energy, you’ll feel drained and resentful.
Make self-care a daily habit—even small moments of rest can make a huge difference.
💡 Looking for self-care ideas? Check out my guide!
6. Step into Self-Empowerment & Own Your Life
The secret to long-term happiness? Self-love and self-respect. When you prioritize yourself, you naturally set higher standards and healthier boundaries.
Ask yourself:
💛 What does self-love look like for me?
💛 How can I treat my body, mind, and spirit with more care?
Your body is the only one you have—treat it well, and it will take care of you in return.
Your Spark Is Still There—Let’s Find It Together
If you’re telling yourself, “I’ve lost my passion for life,” know that you can get it back.
I’ve been there, and I know what it takes to reignite that inner fire. Whether you need support with energy, mindset, nutrition, or lifestyle habits, I’m here to help.

Holistic Life – Live a Happy Life
Embrace Change with Holistic Life
Let’s explore how to embrace change, build resilience, and step into a life filled with purpose and joy with Holistic Life.
“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell
Life doesn’t always go as planned—and that’s frustrating!
Sometimes, unexpected challenges shake our world. You may have lost a job, ended a relationship, faced health struggles, or experienced the heartache of losing a loved one. These moments can knock you off course, leaving you feeling uncertain and overwhelmed.
But here’s the good news—you can navigate these obstacles and emerge stronger than before. With the right mindset and tools, you can rebuild, grow, and find happiness again.
Holistic Life – Moving Forward When Life Feels Uncertain
“Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.”
When life throws curveballs, it’s easy to feel stuck. However, your challenges don’t define you—your response does. Every setback holds an opportunity for growth. Resilience is the key to pushing through difficult times and creating a life that truly fulfills you.
A holistic life coach helps you shift your perspective, develop inner strength, and take action toward a brighter future. Whether you’re facing emotional struggles, career transitions, or personal loss, there are resources to support you.
How to Overcome Life’s Challenges – Tools for Resilience
“The most challenging times bring us the most empowering lessons.”
Building resilience is essential for moving forward. Life’s struggles can unearth hidden courage and lead to a more authentic, fulfilling journey.
Here are some powerful resources to inspire you and help you break through fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt:
1. Get Past Your Fears – Les Brown
This classic motivational talk is packed with inspiration. The setting may feel a little old-school, but the message is timeless: You have the power to overcome fear and take control of your life.
2. Emotional Flood – Tony Robbins (6-Minute Gratitude Tool)
Gratitude is a game-changer. This quick 6-minute exercise can instantly shift your mindset. Try it first thing in the morning or whenever you need a mental reset.
3. Watch “Finding Joe” – A Journey into Self-Discovery
Looking for a meaningful movie? Finding Joe explores the hero’s journey—a reminder that challenges are stepping stones to personal transformation.
4. The Power of Vulnerability – Brené Brown
Embracing vulnerability can help you build deeper connections, boost confidence, and find true strength. Brené Brown’s insights are life-changing.
The Secret to Lasting Change – Focus on the Future
“The secret of change is to focus all your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates
Instead of dwelling on what’s lost, shift your focus to what’s possible. Each challenge is an opportunity to redefine your future. By focusing on growth, healing, and self-discovery, you can create a life that brings you genuine happiness and fulfillment.
The road ahead won’t always be easy, but with the right mindset and resources, you can move forward with confidence and strength.

10 Tips to Get More Energy Naturally
Feeling Drained? Here’s How to Regain Your Energy
Struggling to get through the day? Feeling exhausted, unmotivated, and overwhelmed? If your energy levels are running low, it’s time to take a step back and reset.
When I start feeling flat, I check in with myself. Often, I realize:
- I haven’t been kind to myself.
- My nutrition and time management are off.
- I’ve dropped my healthy habits.
- I have nothing exciting to look forward to.
- I’m focusing on what’s missing instead of what’s present.
The good news? Small changes can make a big impact. Here are 10 simple ways to naturally boost your energy.
1. Start Your Day Right
Mornings set the tone for the entire day. Create a morning routine that fuels your body and mind:
- Begin with deep breathing or meditation (10 minutes).
- Drink two large glasses of water.
- Move your body—run, stretch, or do Pilates.
- Fuel up with a green smoothie or protein-packed breakfast.
Start strong, and your day will follow suit.
2. Prepare Your Meals in Advance
Food fuels your energy, but unhealthy choices can leave you sluggish. Avoid last-minute meal decisions by prepping food in advance.
- Batch-cook soups like lentil, minestrone, or pumpkin.
- Make a green smoothie to sip throughout the day.
- Plan meals 48 hours ahead to stay on track.
Having nourishing meals ready to go means no excuses for poor food choices.
3. Spend Time Outdoors
Fresh air, natural light, and movement instantly boost energy. Whether it’s sunshine on your skin or the sound of waves crashing, nature resets your mind and body.
- Walk, jog, or cycle in a park.
- Stroll barefoot on the beach.
- Go for a bushwalk or a hike.
Even if it’s raining, throw on a jacket—it’s just water, not acid… haha!
4. Practice Daily Gratitude
Energy isn’t just physical—it’s mental too. Shifting your mindset to gratitude helps you feel lighter, happier, and more motivated.
- Write down five things you’re grateful for each day.
- Reflect on positive moments before bed.
- Keep a gratitude journal for 21 days and see the difference.
Even Oprah has done this for over 20 years!
5. Prioritize Self-Love
If you don’t value yourself, you won’t take care of yourself. Make time for self-care activities that fill your cup:
- Dance to your favorite music.
- Soak in a bath.
- Watch the sunset.
- Walk barefoot in the park.
When you love and respect yourself, you naturally make choices that boost your energy and well-being.
6. Strengthen Your Social Connections
Humans thrive on connection. If you’ve been feeling drained, consider how much time you spend engaging with others in meaningful ways.
- Join a sports club, book group, or creative class.
- Call or meet up with a friend for a deep conversation.
- Host a dinner or coffee catch-up.
Social bonds increase happiness and energy—make time for them!
7. Get Enough Sleep
Your body recharges at night, so getting quality sleep is essential. Aim to be in bed by 9:30 or 10 PM with a calming routine:
- Meditate or stretch.
- Read a book (not on a screen).
- Journal your thoughts.
Going to bed refreshed, not just exhausted, makes all the difference.
8. Take Breaks from Screens
Constant screen exposure drains your energy more than you realize. Set boundaries for electronics-free time:
- No screens after 9 PM (goodbye, scrolling).
- Take a weekend or full-day digital detox.
- Spend quiet time reading, thinking, or simply being.
Less screen time = more mental clarity and energy.
9. Stay Hydrated
Your body is 70% water, and dehydration leads to fatigue. Keep your energy high by:
- Drinking 2.5L of water daily (adjust for body size).
- Swapping coffee for herbal tea or clear soups.
- Cutting back on caffeinated drinks and alcohol.
Harvard Medical School confirms that water is the best performance booster—not pricey sports drinks!
10. Reduce Sugar Intake
Sugar isn’t just in candy—it’s in bread, pasta, rice, and processed foods. Too much can cause energy crashes and cravings.
- Swap chocolate for a healthy cacao drink.
- Choose fresh fruit over processed snacks.
- Increase protein intake (nuts, seeds, chicken, legumes) to keep blood sugar stable.
More savory foods like hummus, guacamole, and nuts will keep energy levels steady.
Boost Your Energy & Feel Amazing Again
Implementing even a few of these tips can make a huge difference. More energy means better focus, improved mood, and greater productivity.
