Understanding and Managing Your Energy with Allie Pratt
Want to Support the show?Understanding and Managing Your Energy with Allie PrattAs Albert Einstein once said, “Everything is energy, and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”So if you are a skeptic of anything "woo woo," remember the world of Einstein. "This is NOT philosophy. This IS physics," because in this episode, Allie and I will dive deep into energy healing and the power of creating through our energy. Allie Pratt spent several years in corporate "living the life" by modern standards. She was moving up in leadership and making the big bucks ($$$), but she was unhappy. It dawned on her that checking the boxes of what success and happiness "should" look like did not lead to happiness and fulfillment. Now, Allie is living her best life and found her purpose as an energy healer and ashtanga yoga instructor, coaching, training, and consulting entrepreneurs and organizations on how to tap into their energy and potential.
