Your Energy is the Message

About this episode

Christina Eanes and Lori Muhlstein discuss how your energy impacts communication and connection in interactions.

In this episode of the Essential Skills for Humaning podcast, Christina Eanes and Lori Muhlstein explore a simple but often overlooked truth: your energy is the message. Long before words land, people feel the energy you bring into a room—whether that’s calm, rushed, defensive, curious, or open. We talk about how awareness of your internal state shapes connection, trust, and influence in everyday interactions. This conversation focuses on noticing your energy in real time, understanding how it affects others, and making intentional adjustments in the moment, whether you’re leading a meeting, having a difficult conversation, teaching, or simply trying to connect. Because communication isn’t just what you say; it’s what people experience when you show up. For more info about Christina and her company, Eanes Training, visit EanesTraining.com.
