"Being Careful & Protecting Your Energy"

Bougie Bayou Witches Podcast

Ever found yourself drained after a simple handshake or a hug? I've been there, and that's exactly why I'm cautious about physical contact—it's all about preserving my energy. On today's podcast, I'm joined by Mona, an expert on personal space and energetic hygiene, who enlightens us on the art of creating a sanctuary within our homes and vehicles. Together, we navigate the often-overlooked aspects of social interactions, like the silent siphoning by energy vampires and the underestimated power of eye contact. Listen in as we share our experiences and offer practical advice on respecting and seeking consent in energy exchanges, ensuring you remain fortified against unwanted emotional entanglements, even from those closest to us.
As we turn the calendar to a new year, many of us reflect on the relationships that shape our lives, and how we can cultivate a supportive 'soul tribe'. This episode isn't just about setting boundaries with family during the holidays, though; it's a deep dive into our collective apprehension of mortality and the urge to witness the milestones of those we love. Mona and I lay bare our personal encounters with these universal human fears, discussing the importance of knowing one's life purpose and the role it plays in confronting the concept of time. Whether you find solace in solitude or in the company of loved ones, we unpack strategies to guard your well-being from negative influences both in the physical world and online. This poignant conversation is a call to armor yourself spiritually as you walk through life's myriad challenges.
