Are you working harder than ever but still feel stuck? Our latest No BS Wealth episode might explain why. Energy healer and former CPA Danielle Ingenito shares how the people closest to you might be secretly draining your business energy.

The Hidden Energy Vampire: Toxic Relationships

When you're building a business, you need every ounce of mental energy you can get. But as Danielle reveals:

"I used to fight all the time because I was home all day with my daughter first, and then I was working at the same time. Like I said, whenever she slept, I worked, and then he got to go to the gym after work and then I didn't, you know... There was a power struggle."

These relationship struggles don't stay at home—they follow you into your work, draining the creativity and focus you need to succeed.

Are You An "Overachiever"? It Might Be A Trauma Response

One of the most eye-opening moments in this episode is when Danielle explains why so many entrepreneurs never feel satisfied with their success:

"There's a persona called the overachiever. And an overachiever is actually a trauma response because when we're overachieving, we're just trying to hit that next validation for ourselves."

If you're constantly chasing the next goal without celebrating your wins, you might be caught in this trap.

Quick Tips To Protect Your Energy

  1. Set Clear Boundaries: "You have to set those boundaries so that you know that you have yourself your time."

  2. Shift Your Identity: "This is the one thing that changed my whole life into having more money than I've ever had in the bank, is shifting my identity."

  3. Practice Awareness: "We have to be aware of what we're doing before we can change anything."
