Welcome to Thought Experiment Called Life — a podcast for the curious, the multi-passionate, and the creatively courageous. I’m Greta, and in this episode, I’m diving deep into a mindset shift that changed everything for me:

👉 Why I stopped “matching energy” and started transforming it instead.

As someone who's navigated chronic illness (hi, Lyme disease), burnout, and big emotional energy, I used to feel like I had to protect myself constantly. Crystal shields, white light bubbles, avoiding people with “bad vibes”… been there.

But then something clicked. And in this episode, I’m sharing the story, tools, and mindset that helped me transmute energy instead of hide from it. It’s not about toxic positivity — it’s about learning to stand strong in your own light without letting someone else’s energy knock you off balance.

🎧 In this episode:

- What chronic illness taught me about energetic boundaries

- Why you don’t have to match chaos with chaos

- Breath of Fire & visual tools for setting your energetic tone: https://youtu.be/SQS4Ad-16vE?si=zehCIdfM2klqKqdD

- How to shift the vibe of a room just by being yourself

- Ways to prep mentally for family gatherings, social situations, or tough environments

Whether you're navigating health challenges, family dynamics, or just trying to hold your center in a chaotic world...this one’s for you. It's a love note for sensitives, deep feelers, empaths, and anyone who’s tired of wasting precious energy trying to "match" what doesn't serve them.

I hope you enjoy and please share with anyone you think may benefit.

From my heart to yours,

Greta
