Energetic boundaries shape everything from our everyday interactions to our deepest relationships, yet most of us navigate life completely unaware of how we absorb and carry others' energies. Michelle Wincell O'Leary, author of "Resilience," joins us to share powerful yet simple techniques for energy management that can transform your daily experience.

At the heart of our conversation is the transformative "rose technique" – a visualization practice that creates clear energetic boundaries. By envisioning a rose at the edge of your personal energy field, you establish a visual reminder of where you end and others begin. As Michelle explains, "On the other side of the rose is everyone else's stuff and it is not about you. Nothing going on out there is about you." This single realization can dramatically reduce stress, anxiety, and reactivity.

The applications of this technique extend far beyond theoretical energy work. Michelle shares practical ways to use the rose visualization during driving (where it creates a buffer zone around your vehicle), in meetings, and even at conferences where energetic overwhelm is common. She also demonstrates how to use a second rose to collect and clear unwanted energies that don't align with your authentic self – particularly helpful when you notice feelings or reactions that seem foreign to your nature.

Beyond visualization practices, Michelle emphasizes conscious breathing as a fundamental tool for energy management. Taking deliberate breaths creates space within conversations and daily activities, allowing us to stay present rather than rushing through moments. "You don't have to feel rushed and nervous about this moment," she reminds us. "We can just take our time and enjoy it."
