The Energy Xchange
Welcome to The Energy Xchange, a podcast for deep feelers and quiet leaders ready for expansion. This is where we explore what becomes possible when you stop fighting your natural energy and start working with it, in your business, relationships, and daily life. I’m Colleen Wolak, a corporate marketer turned mentor for my fellow deep feelers and author of "The Empath Detox". As a highly sensitive professional who spent years untangling the patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, and shrinking myself to feel safe, I now help others step into their power without losing the superpower of their softness. We don’t have to be loud to be seen, and we don’t have to push to be powerful. Everything is energy… let’s start this exchange!

Your Worth Is a Misguided Pricing Metric (Pricing for HSPs)

I love AI and use it constantly in my work. BUT....! I think many people are using it in a way that's quietly erasing the only thing that makes their content worth reading.The question isn't whether you should use AI. The question is: wh...
