After a personal health crisis forced her to walk away from corporate life, she began rebuilding from the inside out\u2014trading hustle culture for cyclical living and intuitive rituals. As the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/ilanak.com.au\/\">Ilana K<\/a>, she now teaches others how to reset, restore, and reclaim their energy through movement, nature, and the seasons. In this interview, Ilana shares how she maps her life to the lunar cycle, protects her energy with firm boundaries, and why sometimes the most powerful action is doing absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the first hour of your day usually look like? Are there any non-negotiables that help you start in alignment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first 30 minutes to an hour of my day is sacred. As a mum, business owner, and energy mentor, I\u2019ve learned that how I begin my day deeply impacts how the rest of it unfolds. My non-negotiables include no phone until after I\u2019ve had some quiet time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually start with a warm drink\u2014either herbal tea or lemon water\u2014followed by a grounding practice like five minutes of journalling, meditation, yoga, or heading out for a beach walk. In the warmer months, this ritual also includes a beach swim (hopefully no more stingrays\u2014read below!). These rituals help me ground and connect before I give to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ve lived through burnout, chronic fatigue, and major life pivots. What\u2019s something you understand now about energy that you wish you&#8217;d known earlier?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That energy is everything. Everything we do is a form of energy. And that my energy\u2014and having energetic boundaries\u2014is my responsibility. My passion is teaching women to manage their energy. I used to push through exhaustion, thinking productivity equaled worthiness. But chronic fatigue taught me that the body keeps score. I now understand that rest is not laziness\u2014it\u2019s deeply productive. If I had known earlier how vital it was to listen to my body, honour my cycles, live within the seasons, and prioritise energy management, I could have avoided years of depletion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your work blends ancient wisdom with modern practices. How do you stay grounded while holding space for others in such a personal way?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying grounded is a commitment. I regularly use my tools\u2014including kinesiology, essential oils, yoga, meditation and acupuncture\u2014to reset and recalibrate. Nature is my sanctuary\u2014I walk outside, spend time in my garden, or soak in the ocean when I can. I also have non-negotiable energetic boundaries: I clear my space and energy after each client or event, and I schedule regular \u201cwhite space\u201d in my week to rest and receive. I can\u2019t hold space for others if I\u2019m not holding space for myself first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you talk us through a recent moment where you had to slow down and really listen to your body? What did that look like in practice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, just after the summer holidays, I was eager to dive back into work. My daughter had just returned to childcare, and I was ready to start planning the year ahead. But truthfully, I was already running on empty\u2014juggling full-time parenting over the break while still seeing clients had left me depleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, in a moment I\u2019ll never forget, I was stung by a stingray during a 7am swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sting was incredibly painful (I ended up in Emergency) and shocked my entire body and nervous system\u2014this event was deeply symbolic. Stingrays are known to represent sensitivity, intuition, and hidden emotional currents. To me, the sting was a literal and energetic wake-up call from the universe: slow down, reset, and stop pushing. It reminded me that I have my whole life ahead of me to share my life\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had to cancel sessions, press pause on plans, and let my body (and energy) fully recover. It reminded me that even with the best intentions, forcing our way forward doesn\u2019t work when the body and spirit are asking us to be still. Sometimes, the most aligned action is no action at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You often talk about cyclical living. How do you plan or structure your weeks and months around that rhythm?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cyclical living is central to everything I do. I plan my business around the lunar calendar, seasons and my menstrual cycle. For example, I schedule high-energy activities\u2014like speaking, launching, retreats or teaching\u2014during ovulation or the waxing moon, and reserve slower tasks\u2014like admin, journalling, or retreat planning\u2014for the new moon or my bleeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each month, I check in with the moon phases, my energy levels, and my commitments, then adjust my calendar accordingly. It doesn\u2019t always align completely, but I\u2019m very mindful of creating more white space and maintaining energetic boundaries during these times. Planning in this way has brought more ease, flow, and alignment into both my personal and professional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Running retreats, mentoring, managing your own energy\u2014it\u2019s a lot. How do you create boundaries around your time and space?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve learned that boundaries are an act of self-respect. I schedule rest and recovery into each week, especially around events or fuller work and life periods. I have clear work hours, and I check in with my energy daily to adjust things accordingly. I protect my weekends\u2014especially Sundays\u2014and create intentional digital detox days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also let people in my world\u2014clients, team, family\u2014know when I\u2019m in creation or recovery mode so expectations are clear. My calendar is colour-coded with energy in mind, not just tasks, and I\u2019ve learned to let my intuition guide me. This helps me honour my energy and life season flow. My boundaries are generally firm, but there\u2019s also room for flexibility and adaptability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finally, what advice would you offer to someone who feels constantly depleted, but doesn\u2019t know where to begin reclaiming their energy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Start small. Reclaiming your energy doesn\u2019t require a massive overhaul overnight. Begin by asking yourself: <em>What is draining me?<\/em> and <em>what nourishes or lights me up?<\/em> Then gently make space for more of the things that energise you. Simple things\u2014like prioritising sleep, hydrating well, spending ten minutes in nature, resting, and unplugging from devices\u2014can make a big difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, learn to listen to your body and inner guidance. It\u2019s always speaking\u2014through symptoms, moods, and fatigue. Rebuilding your energy is a journey of reconnection, not perfection. You might need to do an energy and life audit. And remember, you don\u2019t have to do it alone\u2014support is always available. Be sure to ask for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/interviews\/from-burnout-to-balance-with-kinesiologist-ilana-kosakiewicz\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: From Burnout to Balance with Kinesiologist Ilana Kosakiewicz &nbsp;&raquo;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81307,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[130],"class_list":["post-81306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews","tag-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
