Episode 385: Do You Have Expert Energy? How Energetic Alignment Unlocks Your Next Business Breakthrough

Most business owners focus on strategy, sales, or scaling systems when trying to grow, but what if the real key to unlocking your next breakthrough isn’t tactical at all?

What if it’s your energetic alignment?

In this episode of The Scalable Expert, Tara sits down with intuitive energy coach Lesley Sprague to talk about what it really means to have expert energy and how aligning with your next-level frequency might be the secret you didn’t know your business needed.

What Is Expert Energy?

Lesley defines expert energy as tuning in to the energetic frequency of your future self – the version of you who’s already grown the business, already reached the next level, already living and working from that place of clarity, confidence, and ease.

Think of it like this: You are a radio tower broadcasting a signal. You’re constantly sending out (and receiving) energy based on your beliefs, mindset, and focus. The problem? Most entrepreneurs stay tuned into the frequency of who they are now… instead of who they’re becoming.

How Energetic Alignment Changes the Game

Energetic alignment is more than mindset. It’s the intentional practice of tuning into the version of yourself who already embodies the outcome you want and then making decisions from that place.

Instead of asking:

“What do I need to do to get there?”

You start asking:

“What would that future version of me do right now?”

When you shift from chasing outcomes to calibrating to them, things get clearer. You move from reaction to resonance. You start attracting the right clients, making bolder decisions, and seeing faster results – not because you changed your marketing – but because you changed your energy.

Lesley’s Visualization: Try On Her Energy

One powerful moment Lesley shared was walking through her “Try on Her Energy” exercise:

1. Visualize your next-level self.
2. Imagine putting on her energy like a coat, a pair of pants – even her mindset.
3. Feel how your posture, presence, and power shift when you become her in this moment.

Clients often report feeling instantly different – taller, more confident, more grounded – just from this shift. That change in frequency starts to influence how they show up, make decisions, and lead their business.

“When you connect to the energetics of where you want to go, you allow yourself to think from a different space.”- Lesley Sprague

Intuition Is a Business Strategy

Lesley believes that intuition isn’t a “woo” concept, it’s a business superpower.

And just like any muscle, it can be strengthened. She recommends starting with a simple ritual to help you drop into your body and access guidance:

• Set aside quiet time (away from distractions)
• Use breath to ground yourself
• Journal freely from the prompt: “If I could be, do, or have anything, what would that look like today?”
• Then – and this is the hard part – trust what comes up.

Over time, this practice becomes a built-in GPS system that leads you to the right opportunities, decisions, and connections… without burning out trying to figure it all out on paper.

Scaling With Energy, Not Exhaustion

This conversation isn’t about ditching strategy, it’s about aligning it.

When your energy is scattered, disconnected, or misaligned, your actions get diluted. But when you’re tuned into the frequency of your next-level self, even small actions create ripple effects.

This is how you scale without working harder.
This is how you become the scalable expert your clients are already looking for.
