Eat Blog Talk 703: The Real Work Happens After the Room (Mindset & Self-Care)
This episode explores why the most transformative growth happens after the end of an event (like conferences, masterminds or retreats) - and how to harness that energy intentionally.
I just got back from the Flavor Media Summit in Savannah, and wow—what a whirlwind! Today I'm sharing from the heart while everything is still fresh. It's so easy to think the big work happens in the room—at the conference, on the Zoom call, during the retreat—but the truth is, the real transformation begins after you leave. I'll walk you through what that means and how to take meaningful steps forward once the initial energy fades.
Action Plan:
1 - Pause and Reflect: Take intentional time to slow down and journal on what moved you the most from the experience.
2 - Choose One Anchor Action: Pick a single powerful idea and commit to it—don't overwhelm yourself with too many goals at once.
3 - Follow Up on Relationships: Reach out to people you connected with and nurture those new or deepened relationships.
4 - Protect Your Post-Room Energy: Carve out space to stay aligned and avoid tasks that drain your soul.
5 - Reframe the Crash: If you feel depleted, it's a sign of growth—honor that expansion instead of judging it.
