How to navigate fluctuating capacity? A conversation on honesty with Magy Ortiz
In this episode, I’m joined by Magy Ortiz, systems strategist, creative, project manager, and Holistic Time Practitioner, who shares what it’s like to navigate business, care work, and client commitments while honoring a body and energy that doesn’t always stay consistent.
Magy came into the Holistic Time Practitioner Certification already aware of her tendency to say yes too often, to push through, to carry more than she could sustain. What shifted for her inside the program was a deepening of trust—not just in her intentions, but in her fluctuations.
We talk about:
how to recognize when capacity has changed
letting go of internalized pressure to “push through”
honoring sick days and real-life disruptions with less guilt
how grief, presence, and truth shape our relationship to time
being honest with clients without abandoning care
“I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I was just doing too much.”
“I can still serve—but I’m not abandoning myself to do it anymore.”
If you’ve ever felt pulled between being of service and being honest with your energy, this episode will remind you: your fluctuations are not a failure. They’re part of being alive.
