Episode Details

You've ticked all the boxes. The family, the career, the home. So why does life still feel quietly draining? This episode is for anyone who's been wondering if they're running out of time, when really, they might be running out of energy.

Engineer-turned-coach Mary Guerdoux-Harries walks us through the four sources of energy that shape how alive we actually feel — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual — and why the one most of us overlook is also the one that holds everything else together. Practical, grounded, and gently revealing.

About the Guest:

Mary Guerdoux-Harries is an ICF-accredited professional coach and the founder of Resonance Coaching, based in the south of France. After more than two decades in international engineering and tech organisations, she now works with women and leaders to help them understand and harness their energy across four dimensions so they can grow and thrive without burning out.

Key Takeaways:

• We don't run out of time. We run out of energy. Most fatigue isn't a scheduling problem, it's an alignment problem.
• The four energy sources (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) work like batteries. They charge and drain through everything you do, and they fuel each other.
• Spiritual energy isn't religious. It's the quiet knowing of what your values are and whether your day actually reflects them.
• Burnout often hides inside lives that "look fine on paper." Ticking boxes is not the same as feeling fulfilled.
• Small, value-aligned actions (starting a compost bin, buying a painting, taking a drawing class) can shift your energy more than another productivity hack ever will.
• Measuring your energy with tools like the ELI makes the intangible tangible, so you can finally see where you're depleted and what to feed.
• Wherever you are right now is exactly where you're meant to be. Healing starts with that acceptance.
