Episode notes

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Alefiyah Lindo discuss:

Planning the future by evaluating what actually worked
Supporting happiness without trying to control it
Using energy as a diagnostic tool for alignment
Treating burnout as feedback and adjusting accordingly

Key Takeaways:

Reviewing the past year reveals which habits, strategies, and commitments deserve to continue and which do not. Entering a new year without reflection leads to repeating default patterns rather than making intentional choices. Sustainable growth comes from consistency and long-term relationship building, not one-off efforts.
You cannot create happiness for others, only support their ability to create it themselves. Taking responsibility for other people’s emotional outcomes leads to exhaustion and blurred boundaries. Healthy leadership and parenting require allowing others to experience discomfort and self-direction.
Alignment exists when beliefs, words, actions, and emotions are consistent with one another. Chronic fatigue, burnout, and self-sabotage are indicators of misalignment rather than laziness or failure. Tracking what energizes and depletes you provides clearer guidance than what you think you “should” enjoy.
Burnout signals a need to realign priorities, responsibilities, and expectations. Bringing subconscious patterns into conscious awareness is a prerequisite for lasting change. Different results require different actions, even when those actions challenge long-held assumptions.

"Energy work really is when what we believe, what we say, what we do, and what we feel are all on the same page. That’s what energy alignment is." — Alefiyah Lindo
