EP318: Who is Draining My Energy? Energy Vampires & Energy Eaters?

Ever leave a conversation feeling completely drained, and not quite sure why? In this episode, Mystic Michaela dives into the world of “energy eaters”, people who don’t just bring the vibe down, but actively feed off your life force. Think of them as energy vampires with an appetite for your attention, emotions, and spirit.

Michaela breaks down how to recognize these subtle (and not-so-subtle) energy drains in your daily life, from chronic complainers to those who seem to thrive on your reactions. She also explores what energy really is, why your personal life force matters more than you think, and how to tell when you’re being used for energetic food.

Listeners share their energy eater stories, and we hear about the ex’s, co-workers, bosses and friends who fed them drama, crisis and neediness to take for their own sustenance.

If you’ve ever felt “off” around certain people or struggled to maintain your sense of self, this conversation will leave you feeling validated, and better equipped to guard what’s yours.
