In this episode Nydia Cardenas, an Energy Life Coach from Fort Worth, Texas shares how she came to coaching and how she has helped people across the nation take back their energy! Let’s face it - we imagine and build differently when energized than when tired.

She also gives listeners ideas and tips on how to better resource yourself for weekly tasks and claim that energy back! I expose myself quite a bit in this episode as we walk through the exercise but I hope in some ways it’s helpful for others as we talk about the uncertainty that comes from being undocumented or a DACA recipient.
