Truth Serum: Mental Clutter & Energy Leaks: What’s Draining You? (Day 3)

🎙️ Truth Serum: Mental Clutter & Energy Leaks: What’s Draining You? (Day 3)

A 7-Part Mid-Year Reset Challenge

🧠 Episode Summary:

In Day 3 of the Truth Serum: Mid-Year Reset, host Tina White invites you to take a deep, honest look at what’s been silently draining your spirit — from unresolved thoughts to unchecked energy leaks.

Because here’s the truth: 💭 “A cluttered mind kills execution. Free it.”

This episode explores the connection between mental overload and emotional burnout. Tina guides you through the process of naming what’s been weighing you down, exposing what’s been stealing your time and peace, and reclaiming your focus.

Burnout doesn’t always come from doing too much — sometimes it comes from doing too much of the wrong things, for people who don’t respect your boundaries.

🔍 In This Episode:

  • How mental clutter disrupts clarity and execution
  • What to do when your thoughts are too loud to ignore
  • How to spot hidden energy leaks in your calendar, commitments, and connections
  • The emotional cost of saying “yes” when your soul is screaming “no”
  • Why protecting your peace is not a luxury — it’s a survival skill

📓 Today’s Challenge:

  1. Write it out — Journal or voice note every thought that’s been circling your mind. No filter.
  2. Audit your energy — Identify and unfollow one task, habit, or relationship that drains you.

You don’t need more motivation. You need mental space and emotional clarity.

🔖 Quote of the Day: “If it drains you, it delays you.”

📌 For Listeners Who:

  • Feel mentally overwhelmed but emotionally numb
  • Have been over giving without replenishment
  • Keep pushing through burnout instead of pausing to realign
  • Know something needs to change, but haven’t had space to think
