Title: Energy Vampires: Protecting Your Peace from People Who Drain You
Host: Tina White
Podcast: The Trigger and The Truth
Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling completely exhausted, like someone just unplugged your spirit? That’s not in your head. That’s an energy vampire.
In this episode, Tina White unpacks the emotional, physical, and mental toll of relationships that drain rather than nourish. From manipulative coworkers to overbearing relatives and one-sided friendships, Tina dives deep into how energy vampires operate, how they keep us in cycles of depletion, and what it takes to finally cut the cord.
If you’ve been feeling tired in your soul, not just your body, this conversation is for you. Let’s talk about boundaries, self-preservation, and protecting your peace at all costs.
💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The 5 signs you're dealing with an energy vampire
- How chronic emotional drain shows up in your body and spirit
- The guilt we feel when setting boundaries with draining people
- Tools to protect your energy without becoming cold or disconnected
- Why choosing yourself is not selfish—it’s survival
