In this powerful video, I share a life-changing metaphor that came from an unexpected moment while cutting trees with my dad. This isn’t just a story about clearing the woods—it’s about recognizing the energy we allow into our lives and how it affects us. Using the analogy of "hardwood vs. softwood," I dive deep into understanding the types of people and energies we surround ourselves with and how they either nourish or drain us.

Just as oak and maple burn longer, cleaner, and provide steady warmth, the right people and energies in our life support us, bring wisdom, and fill us with joy. On the other hand, like pine, which burns fast and smoky, certain people and negative energies drain us and leave us feeling depleted.

This video will help you identify and let go of the "softwood" in your life—whether it's self-limiting beliefs, fears, or toxic relationships—and instead, focus on feeding the "hardwood": the energy that helps you thrive, grow, and align with your true self.

We’ll explore the deeper spiritual layers of this metaphor and how it applies not only to the people around us but to our own inner world. Are you holding onto self-doubt, fear, anger, or other emotional baggage that depletes your energy? It’s time to release those limiting beliefs and start nurturing the parts of yourself that light you up and align you with your higher purpose!

By choosing to focus on positive energy and the people who uplift us, we can transform our lives, achieve more balance, and find inner peace. This message isn’t just theoretical—it’s practical, and you’ll learn how to apply it in your day-to-day life. I’ll also discuss the importance of being fully present in the moment, as true transformation comes when we tap into the now.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling drained by the wrong people or habits, or if you’re looking to up-level your life by aligning with your spiritual and personal growth, this video is for you.
