Telfer McCognahay: How to Navigate Major Life Changes Without Losing Yourself
The Energy Blueprint Podcast
There are moments in life when the old version of you stops working, but the next version hasn’t arrived yet. A relationship ends, or a career changes direction. A long-held identity begins to crack.

Dr. Evan Hirsch on Why You’re Still Tired (Even When You’re Doing Everything Right)

Why Dieting Makes You Tired (and Often Backfires) with Dr. Susan Peirce Thompson

According to Dr. Susan, fatigue during dieting is a short-term feeling that should ease over time…with the right approach. When you cut calories, your body doesn’t just burn fat and carry on. It responds. Metabolism slows, energy drops, and hormones shift in ways that are normal but...
