19. Supplement Your Life Systems

Peace in, peeps. If life feels heavy, reactive, scattered, or disconnected… you’re not failing — you might be running low.
We already understand this concept with our bodies. When Vitamin D or iron is low, we don’t spiral — we get curious, check the data, and replenish what’s missing. So here’s the shift: what if we supplemented our lives the same way?
In this episode of Steph’s Shift Show, we’re going to help you quickly identify which of your five life systems is running low right now:
Clarity (how you think + decide)
Calm (how you regulate)
Intention (how your life aligns with what matters)
Protection (how you manage energy + “nos”)
Empowerment (how you trust yourself + show up)
And we’re keeping it simple: you’ll pick the ONE that feels low… and you’ll walk away with one intentional action that starts replenishing it today.
This matters because stress is still running high — especially for parents and people carrying nonstop decision-making. APA’s Stress in America 2025 and Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2025 both echo what we’re living: overload is real, and it shows up as lower engagement, lower wellbeing, and less daily positive emotion.
You’ll also hear how I use tools like my Oura Ring Readiness Score as neutral “data-not-drama” feedback — and how to do the same for your LIFE. (Oura describes Readiness as reflecting how balanced your recovery and activity are, based on sleep quality, body signals, and activity.)
Next step if this hits: January 7 @ 7pm CT — I’m hosting a live Life Supplement Reset webinar to help you identify what’s low and build your personal replenishment plan for 2026.
Peace in… and go plant some YAYs.
