Some people leave you feeling inspired. Others leave you completely drained.
The friend who only calls when they need something. The colleague who complains non-stop. The relative who always makes you feel guilty. You spend time with them and walk away exhausted, anxious or questioning yourself, and you're not even sure why.
Not everyone in your life is good for your energy. If you don't learn to spot and handle energy vampires, they'll steal your time, your joy and your peace.
How to slay the time, joy and soul suckers in your life.
