Hey Tribe, welcome back to I’d Like to Unsubscribe — Today’s topic? Energy Vampires. (Cue the garlic.) You know them: the people, patterns, or pressures that suck the life out of you faster than a phone at 3% with no charger in sight. Maybe it’s the friend who calls only to dump their drama, the coworker who “just has a quick favor,” or that one family member who thinks chronic illness is cured by kale. Or maybe it’s not even a person — maybe it’s your own doom scrolling, overcommitting, or that little guilt-voice whispering, “You should be doing more.”Living with chronic illness means your energy isn’t just limited — it’s sacred currency. Every spoon counts. And yet, most of us were trained to hand it out like Costco samples to anyone who asks. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to spot the energy drains, how to tell the difference between genuine responsibilities and vampires in disguise, and how to start setting boundaries without turning into a bridge troll (unless you want to — no judgment).We’ll also talk about Spoon Theory, why burnout feels different with chronic illness, and the sneaky ways we sometimes drain ourselves by trying to keep up with the “old us.” Most importantly, we’ll remind you that running out of energy doesn’t make you less valuable — it makes you human.So grab your tea, your heating pad, and maybe a garlic necklace for good measure. Because today, we’re unsubscribing from letting everyone and everything drain us dry. ✨ XOXO, Marisa & Britt ***Also, please follow us on Insta @lupuschickofficial and @idliketounsibscribe and @goddoesntsuck - or learn more about us at www.Idliketounsubscribe.com
