#99- When Good Intentions Drain Good Purpose
Manage episode 498796309 series 3513509
In this episode, Dr. Phyllis dives into a powerful message about the difference between good intentions and purposeful action. She explores how good intentions, while well-meaning, can sometimes pull us away from our true purpose—especially when they start to drain our energy, disrupt our finances, or take us off course.
Dr. Phyllis shares how to honor your good intentions without letting them override what really matters to you right now. She guides you through an approach to discern whether your “yes” is truly serving your purpose or secretly draining your power.
You’ll learn the POWER method to take back your energy and realign your choices:
- Pause before you purchase or pledge
- Own your intention
- Weigh the cost
- Examine for overload
- Recommit to purpose
This framework helps you make decisions and say yes from a place of alignment — not anxiety.
If you’re ready to stop letting good intentions drain your energy and start making choices that truly serve you, this episode is for you.
