If you listened to Episode 22, you know we covered Energy Levels 1 and 2 from Bruce Schneider’s Energy Leadership framework — the spaces where life feels heavy and reactive. Today, we’re moving higher, into Levels 3 and 4: Tolerations and Gratitude. These are the spaces where you start reclaiming your energy, making intentional choices, and seeing hope again. In this episode, I’ll share: How to decide what you’ll no longer tolerate — and what you’ll tolerate on purpose Why gratitude is a resilience strategy, not just a nice idea How both concepts are so important to me, I’ve literally made them part of my story and identity 📖 Scripture References: Galatians 6:9, 1 Thessalonians 5:18 📝 Journal Prompt: What’s one thing I’m no longer willing to tolerate, and one thing I’m grateful for that I’ve been overlooking? ✨ FREE Giveaway!
