Success isn’t just about working harder. Sometimes, it’s about working differently.On this episode of The Emma Stratton Show, I’m joined by my friend and mentor, Rev. Frances Fayden. Years ago, I was following all the traditional business advice but nothing was clicking. I was exhausted, frustrated, and pushing harder than ever with little to show for it.

Then I met Frances, and she introduced me to something I’d never considered: energy work. I wasn’t sure what to make of it at first, but when I started aligning with my natural energy instead of forcing strategies that didn’t fit, everything shifted—fast.In this conversation, we dive into what energy really is, how it affects the way we show up in business, and why honoring who you are can unlock the success you’ve been chasing.

Highlights:

• What energy work actually is, and how it impacts your business
• The mindset shift that changed everything for me
• How to identify (and eliminate) energy drains holding you back
