In the last several months, my portfolio is up over 50%.
I dropped my body fat to 20%. I walk 15,000 steps every day. I squat one and a half times my bodyweight… and I can do two pull-ups. I wake up at 3 or 4 a.m. — with energy. And I make one video every single day.
But before this… I was just a stay-at-home mom who felt worthless in life.
So how did I change so much?
Because I discovered the real secret of productivity: Living in the Energy Economy.
What the Energy Economy Really Is
The Energy Economy is my framework for turning vitality into freedom, productivity, and meaning.
Once you master energy, time and money fall into place automatically.
Money and time aren’t the real foundation of life — energy is.
It borrows the language of economics — wealth, assets, leaks, compounding — and applies it to the most fundamental resource we have: energy.
Like money in a financial system, energy flows, circulates, compounds, or leaks.
And just like an economy, the health of the whole depends on how well the system is managed.
The Real Wealth
In the Energy Economy:
- Wealth = how much energy you generate and circulate.
- Giving isn’t loss — it’s multiplication.
- Clarity, patience, love, awareness, and discipline are assets that compound.
“If I have energy, I can create anything.
If I lose energy, nothing else matters.”
Core Principles
- Energy precedes everything → Money and time only gain value when fueled by energy.
- Giving multiplies energy → Love, awareness, and discipline don’t drain you — they expand you.
- Guard against leaks → Energy drains faster through unresolved emotions, toxic environments, or misaligned relationships than through hard work.
- Invest in renewables → Body, mind, emotions, and spirit are daily sources of renewable energy.
Practical Applications
1. Productivity
- The Energy Economy shifts the question from “How can I do more?” to “How can I have more energy?”
- When energy is high, focus and output flow naturally — without constant willpower.
2. Relationships
- Leaks often come from misaligned or toxic connections.
- Awareness helps you choose relationships that fuel, not drain.
- Love, compassion, and presence multiply energy when given freely.
3. Creative Output
- Creativity requires surplus energy — you can’t create from an empty tank.
- By protecting leaks and aligning with purpose, you generate the overflow that fuels writing, videos, art, or leadership.
- In this way, creation isn’t a drain — it’s a multiplier.
Types of Energy
- Physical Vitality → the foundation. Movement, sleep, nutrition, and rest give you stamina.
- Emotional Energy → the amplifier. Love, purpose, and self-compassion fuel resilience.
- Mental Focus → the channel. Clarity and discipline direct energy into meaningful action.
- Spiritual Alignment → the compass. Awareness and vision ensure your energy flows toward what matters.
When these four align, your energy becomes exponential.
Why the Energy Economy is the Key to Productivity and Meaning
Most people think productivity comes from time management or willpower. But willpower is like a battery — it drains fast. Energy, on the other hand, is renewable.
- Without energy → time is just empty hours, money is useless storage.
- With energy → time compounds, money multiplies, and work turns into creation.
That’s why the Energy Economy is the real key to productivity. When you make decisions based on energy, you find alignment — and then discipline becomes effortless.
And it’s also the key to meaning:
- Emotional energy connects you to what matters.
- Spiritual energy ensures your actions flow toward growth, not just busyness.
Productivity = the quantity of energy you generate and channel.
Meaning = the quality of energy you align and circulate.
Contrast with Productivity Culture
Traditional productivity culture glorifies efficiency and hustle: fill every minute, optimize every process, work harder and longer.
But this mindset often ends in burnout, emptiness, and the illusion of progress.
The Energy Economy flips this logic:
- It’s not about willpower and force → decisions made on energy create alignment, and discipline becomes effortless.
- It’s not about doing more with less time → it’s about having more energy so what you do has real impact.
- It’s not about squeezing output from exhaustion → it’s about generating sustainable energy that makes action natural.
- It’s not about chasing money directly → it’s about letting money flow as a by-product of aligned energy.
- It’s not about proving your worth by being busy → it’s about directing energy so your work feels meaningful.
Productivity culture = activity.
Energy Economy = vitality + meaning.
How to Apply the Energy Economy in Life
- Protect your energy leaks like your bank account → close drains before chasing gains.
- Believe energy comes first → Freedom with time and money follows naturally.
- Make decisions based on energy, not money → what fuels you creates real wealth.
- Use money as a tool, not the goal → invest in what renews your energy.
- Fill your time with energy so it compounds → daily habits + energy = exponential growth.
- Circulate energy by giving → giving multiplies energy, it doesn’t deplete it.
(For me, cutting sugar was more powerful than any productivity app — it stabilized my mornings and gave me back hours of focus. Sharing my journey through blogs and YouTube doesn’t drain me — it multiplies my energy, because it’s meaningful work.)
Closing
The Energy Economy is freedom.
It’s the foundation beneath time, money, and creation.
Because once you master energy —
time and money fall into place automatically.
