In this episode, you and I are talking about how to protect your peace.

You already spend a lot of time trying to be positive - so today I want to remind you that it is just as important to protect your energy from people and situations who suck it dry.

You know the ones.

The friend who is so n-e-g-a-t-i-v-e, about everything!

The rude person at the coffee shop.

The colleague who’s always stirring the pot.

The toxic dynamic with certain family members.

Negative people are like dogs who have just jumped into a muddy pond. They come running up to you smelling all nasty and as soon as they get next to you - boom - they shake all that crap all over you.

It’s time to protect yourself.

Today’s podcast episode will teach you six super easy science-backed strategies to help you create an impenetrable force field against bad energy (and muddy dogs).

You can’t allow that crap to get on you - because your positive life force deserves your protection!

And today I’m teaching you how. Force fields up! Positive energy out!

Because that, my friend, is something to feel great about!
