Burnout Isn’t Just Tiredness – It’s a Soul Cry. Here’s How I Healed (and How You Can Too)

There was a moment, not so long ago, when I sat on the edge of my bed and thought—I’ve got nothing left to give.

I was done.
Emotionally wrung out.
Mentally foggy.
Energetically empty.

And the worst part? I didn’t know how to stop. Because like so many of you—I’m the helper. The giver. The space-holder. But I was giving from a place of depletion… not devotion.

What Does Burnout Really Feel Like?

Burnout isn’t just being “a bit tired.”

• It’s waking up exhausted, even after a full night’s sleep.
• It’s being short-tempered with people you love.
• It’s losing joy in the things that used to light you up.
• It’s brain fog, low motivation, and an ache that feels like it lives in your bones.

I see this in so many of my clients—particularly women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s navigating perimenopause, motherhood, work stress, people-pleasing, and the invisible mental load that society often ignores.

My Turning Point: From Breakdown to Healing

I knew I needed to do something radical—not just a bubble bath or a glass of wine. I needed soul-deep support.

✨ Reiki brought me home to myself.

Receiving Reiki was like plugging back into Source. The gentle, high-vibrational energy cleared the static, helped me breathe again, and reminded me that I am more than my to-do list.

🌿 Aromatherapy became my daily lifeline.

Basil for adrenal fatigue, Clary Sage for hormonal balance, and Frankincense to reconnect with spirit. Diffusing these oils during meditations or applying them before bed became sacred acts of self-respect.

🧿 Shamanic Aura Clearing & Cord-Cutting Ceremonies saved my energy field.

I realised I was carrying the weight of everyone else’s emotions, expectations, and energetic attachments. These ancient rituals helped me reclaim my space. They cleared away the emotional debris and gave me clarity, strength, and boundaries.
