214 Your Autumn Reset: 5 things to ditch and 3 to keep for Energy and Confidence

Autumn is one of the best times of year for a reset. It’s not too dark, not too cold, and it comes with that “fresh start” energy that can help you refocus on what you want before the year ends.

In this episode, I’m helping you prepare for a simple but powerful reset by sharing 5 things it’s time to let go of – the hidden drains on your energy and confidence – and 3 things you absolutely should keep (or add) if you want to feel clear, grounded and ready to go this season.

These are the foundations of the work I do with clients through my 3Rs framework: reclaiming yourself from all the noise and pressure, reconnecting with your body and energy, and then rising into the habits and routines that actually work for you. Today’s episode is all about those first two steps – simplifying, releasing and starting to feel in control again.

Key Takeaways

5 things to let go of for more energy and confidence:

  • Overthinking and second-guessing yourself
  • Tracking everything (food, steps, macros) to the point of distrust
  • Forcing rigid routines that don’t fit your life
  • Chasing quick fixes and the next “magic answer”
  • Pushing through instead of listening to what your body needs

3 things to keep or add instead:

  • Intention: clarity about what really matters to you
  • Nervous system regulation: simple practices that bring you back to centre
  • Embodiment: living in your body instead of constantly monitoring it

Energy and confidence don’t come from adding more to your plate – they come from letting go of the things that drain you, creating space for what matters, and simplifying.
