5 Signs Someone Is Draining Your Energy (And What to Do About It)

Jay explores how draining relationships can quietly take a toll on our bodies, minds, and emotional well-being, leaving us depleted before a conversation even begins and carrying its weight long after it ends. He breaks down five signs of chronic relational stress, from managing other people’s emotions and falling into the fixer role to shrinking yourself and replaying interactions in your head. Jay also shares practical tools for setting healthier boundaries, letting go of emotional responsibility that isn’t yours, and protecting your energy without cutting people off or losing compassion.

With Love and Gratitude,
