Burnout leaves you exhausted and empty - but what if the problem isn’t that you’re not doing enough self-care, it’s that you’re doing the wrong kind? In this episode of Soul Medicine, I call out the cultural lie we’ve all bought into: that self-care is nails, lashes, gym memberships, and hair appointments. The polish fades. The mask slips. Underneath, you’re still carrying the same ache.
By the end, you’ll see why true self-care isn’t about glossing over the cracks, but about tending to the wounds beneath - and why soul work is the only thing that truly restores connection, belonging, and wholeness.
Mentioned in this episode:
- Why “self-care as luxury” keeps you stuck in coping, not healing.
- The Hermetic principle of Cause and Effect - how your “armour” at work spills into home and family.
- Spirit’s channelled message on false clarity vs. true belonging.
- How to know if you’re polishing your mask or tending to your soul.
💫 If this episode spoke to you, follow the show and share it with someone who’s tired of surface fixes - because when we start treating soul work as normal self-care, we don’t just heal ourselves, we change what’s possible for everyone around us.
