Battery Level

Energy levels, drive, and what fuels or drains you. How you manage your reserves and when to switch into low-power mode.

Lailah Taylor and the Decision to Leave Her Marriage

High fit

Battery Level is about energy reserves — what fuels you and what drains you, and knowing when to switch into low-power mode. Lailah Taylor spent years pouring her energy into saving a marriage that was draining her. The begging, the fighting, the rebuilding — over and over. Eventually her battery for that particular drain simply hit zero. She didn't decide to leave strategically; she just had nothing left for the cycle. Running out of energy for the wrong thing turned out to be the thing that finally freed her.
