THE ENERGY AUDIT: WHAT TO KEEP, CUT, AND CLEANSE THIS SPRING
Spring isn’t just for cleaning closets—it’s the perfect time to take inventory of your energy. As entrepreneurs, we often default to focusing on what we’re doing, but real progress comes from being intentional about what we’re holding. Every meeting, message, and mental loop either fuels us or drains us. If you're feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your work, chances are it's time for an energy audit.
Start by looking at what to keep. These are the people, habits, and commitments that light you up. Ask yourself: What gives me energy? What do I leave feeling more clear, empowered, or inspired? These might include certain clients, creative projects, daily rituals, or even weekly calls that consistently bring value. Identify them—and double down. This is where you want to build momentum.
Next, assess what to cut. These are the silent saboteurs—low-level commitments, tolerations, and outdated “shoulds” that clutter your calendar and mind. Examples might be menial tasks that can be delegated, offers that no longer align, or even relationships (personal or business) that are weighing you down. Cutting doesn’t mean quitting—it means reclaiming your energy so you can lead more effectively. Tip: try color-coding your calendar or doing an audit of weekly tasks for energy levels. If it’s all red, you’ve got some releasing to do.
Spring is also a great time to do some energetic cleansing. This practice is about releasing energetic residue: unresolved conversations, lingering self-doubt, or emotions you've been stuffing down. A simple journaling exercise or voice memo to yourself can work to release trapped energy and emotions. You can also clear physical energy by refreshing your workspace, organizing your desktop, or even smudge sage in your office/studio. The goal? Create space for what’s next.
This April, give yourself permission to pause—not to slow down, but to realign. Your time is important, but your energy is invaluable. Protect it, honor it, and recalibrate it often. The more intentionally you manage your energy, the more magnetic and aligned your leadership becomes.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
This month we are proud to feature Community Member, Jeff LaCross. Jeff has over 25 years of experience in providing trust, estate, gift, not-for-profit, and individual tax compliance and consulting services. He specializes in providing comprehensive personal financial planning and consulting, including advising high net worth clients on risk management, investment allocation strategies, estate planning techniques, cash flow management, education planning, charitable giving and personal income tax planning.
And... he is absolutely crushing it right now. He’s deep in the trenches of tax season — the time of year that usually leaves him drained and burnt out — yet he’s thriving. Not only is he powering through the busiest stretch of his work year, but he’s also doubling down on his health, often hitting two gym sessions a day.
What’s different this year? He’s not working less — in fact, he might even be working more — but he’s aligned. He’s prioritizing the habits and self-care that keep him sharp, grounded, and in control. This is the first time he’s maintained his life outside of work while still showing up at the highest level inside it.
It’s a whole new level.  Â

Business and Finances
April 2025 begins with Aries fire in full effect, fueling bold action, assertiveness, and leadership. With the Sun in Aries until April 19th, this is a high-energy period ideal for launching new projects, asserting your authority, and taking calculated risks in business. The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries on April 8th is a major turning point—eclipses bring fated events and breakthroughs. This one supercharges your drive to initiate something aligned with your true identity and long-term mission. Expect sudden shifts or realizations that clarify your direction, especially around career and purpose.
As the Sun enters grounded Taurus on April 19th, the pace slows and focus turns to sustainability, resources, and long-term value. Financial decisions made in the latter half of the month will benefit from this stabilizing influence, especially with Jupiter and Uranus conjunct in Taurus—a rare, expansive aspect that can bring sudden windfalls or revolutionary breakthroughs in income and innovation. Keep your eyes open for unexpected opportunities, especially ones that challenge the status quo but promise long-term gain.
Relationships
April’s eclipse energy will reverberate through relationships as well. The Aries eclipse on April 8th may spark endings, beginnings, or bold new declarations of love or independence. If a connection has been stagnant or misaligned, this lunation may bring a dramatic shift. Aries energy asks: Are you brave enough to choose yourself? For some, this could mean stepping into a new dynamic or walking away from one that no longer reflects your worth.
Venus moves through Aries most of the month, adding spice, assertiveness, and passion to relationships. Directness is favored—this is a time to express your desires clearly and go after what (or who) you want. As Venus enters Taurus on April 29th, the tone shifts toward sensuality, loyalty, and emotional security. Relationships may feel more grounded and nurturing as we move toward May, with deeper intimacy and commitment on the horizon.
Energetic Themes
April is a month of courage, awakening, and bold realignment. With an Aries solar eclipse, a rare Jupiter–Uranus conjunction in Taurus, and Mercury retrograde in Aries beginning April 1st through 25th, you’re being asked to revise your thinking and release outdated mental patterns before initiating major moves. Delays and miscommunications may arise, but they serve to refine your clarity. By the time Mercury goes direct, and Taurus season is in full swing, you’ll be equipped with the grounded insight to take aligned, sustainable action.
For Evolved 100 participants, April is a turning point month. You’re being invited to rise—step into your next level of leadership, power, and purpose. Let the eclipse close doors that no longer fit, and walk boldly into new territory with self-trust. This is the month where grit meets grace. Keep your focus on internal alignment and let external success follow.
BOOK OF THE MONTH
Existential Kink
by:Â Carolyn Elliot
Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other”, the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.
