Managing your energy is key to regulating anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. In this episode, Morra sits down with energy healing practitioner Ellen Donaldson to explore how energy dysregulation shows up in high-achieving, anxious professionals, and what you can do about it. Ellen breaks down key concepts in mind-body energy medicine, including the chakra system, and offers practical tools to help you feel more grounded, present, and powerful.

Morra shares her own experience learning from Ellen, including how a simple shift in energetic awareness helped her cope with caregiving demands and daily overwhelm. You’ll also hear a short guided meditation to help you regulate your energy, even on the busiest days.

Takeaways from the episode:

Your energy body (composed of chakras and an aura) affects your emotional and physical well-being.
Dysregulated energy (like overly open or closed chakras) can manifest as anxiety, emotional flooding, or exhaustion.
The second chakra is particularly relevant to people-pleasers and caregivers. Learning to “close” it slightly can reduce overwhelm.
Grounding through the first chakra helps regulate the nervous system and bring you back to the present moment.
Simple practices—like visualizing veggie steamers as chakra regulators!—can be done in seconds, tied to everyday routines.

Ellen guides listeners through a quick grounding and chakra-regulation meditation you can repeat anytime—before a tough meeting, while caregiving, or simply when you're feeling frazzled.
