Energy Never Lies

✧ The Truth Beneath Our Words

It was 7:00 AM.
I was in line at the checkout, holding nothing more than tampons and Advil.
When it was my turn, the clerk smiled and asked,

“How are you?”

With my best smile, I replied,

“I’m fine.”

She looked me straight in the eye and said,

“You’re a liar.”

I burst out laughing.
She nailed it.

When I asked her how she knew, she said,

“The tampons and Advil were a clue, but your voice gave you away. You sounded miserable.”

She was right.
I was trying to mask my pain with politeness, and she picked up on it instantly.

Through my study and deep love of energy, I’ve learned that our energy speaks louder than our words.
We might press down or deny emotions, but they leak into the tone of our voice, the tension in our shoulders, the way we move through space.

Sometimes, we don’t even need to say a word—
And someone else just knows.

Walk into a room in a good mood when your teenager or partner is stressed, and you’ll feel it instantly.
The whole room changes.

I’ve come to understand this:

Acknowledging what I feel is the most powerful way to clear communication.

Today, I was on a call with a friend.
We were collaborating on a shared project.
On the surface, we were in agreement. But under it?
I could feel anger—and it wasn’t just mine.

So I paused. I named it.
I told her I was feeling frustrated, and asked if she was too.
She hesitated… then agreed.
The words weren’t saying it, but the energy was loud.

Until we acknowledged the truth, nothing was moving.
Once we did, the space between us shifted.
A new vision opened up.
The conversation flowed again.

This matters in work. In leadership. In every collaboration.

When we ignore what we feel, we create resistance.
When we honor it, energy moves.
New possibilities emerge.

We don’t need to act on every emotion.
But we need to feel them, to let them teach us something.

Because here's the secret:

When energy is felt, it shifts.
And when it shifts, it becomes light.
