Ep. #177: A Mid-Year Reflection with Crystals for What You’re Ready to Release

Sometimes we're not exhausted because we're doing too much. Sometimes we're exhausted because we're carrying things that no longer belong to us.

In this solo episode of The Energy Fix, Tansy invites listeners into a mid-year pause—a chance to step back, take inventory, and honestly evaluate what they're bringing into the second half of the year.

This isn't about setting new goals or pushing harder.

It's about recognizing the emotional, energetic, and mental weight you've been carrying, and asking whether it's still aligned with who you are becoming.

Tansy explores the difference between capacity and alignment, the courage it takes to tell the truth about what isn't working anymore, and how growth often requires releasing things that once felt necessary.

She also dives into the roles of the Throat Chakra and Solar Plexus Chakra, and shares how crystals can serve as supportive tools when you're learning to trust yourself, speak your truth, and move into your next season with greater clarity.

This episode closes with powerful reflection questions designed to help you reconnect with yourself and uncover what you're truly ready to let go of.

Why This Episode Matters

Because the middle of the year often arrives faster than we expect.

And many of us are still carrying things we never intended to hold for this long.

It can show up as:

  • feeling tired even when you're doing all the right things

  • resentment that keeps surfacing

  • responsibilities that no longer fit who you're becoming

  • relationships, commitments, or expectations that feel heavy

  • knowing something needs to change but not knowing where to begin

  • feeling stuck between who you were and who you're becoming

And the challenging part?

Sometimes we're capable of carrying something long after it's stopped being aligned.

This episode is a reminder that capacity and alignment are not the same thing.

Just because you can carry it doesn't mean it's yours to keep carrying.

The second half of the year doesn't require more effort.

It may simply require more honesty.
