Resentment leads to Autoimmune Diseases and Burnout

Resentment isn't just a bad mood. It is a biological poison. Every time you say "yes" when you desperately want to say "no," you are literally drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. If you are a healer suffering from unexplained inflammation or fatigue, you aren't just tired—you are under attack from within.

Today, we tackle the ugly emotion you aren't supposed to feel. Resentment is "anger with a tuxedo on"—it is the rage you shoved down to be professional, nice, or a "good" mother. But the body keeps the score. There is a terrifying link between your inability to disappoint others and the autoimmune issues and chronic fatigue destroying your health. When you suppress your truth, you confuse your immune system, causing it to attack you instead of the pathogens.

In this episode, Dr. Julie reveals the "Disease to Please" and how it blocks your Solar Plexus, leaving you feeling small, invisible, and powerless. You will learn how to turn your power center back on and stop the biological self-betrayal. We also guide you through the "Cord Cutting Ritual"—a visceral visualization using golden scissors to sever the energetic drains that are sucking you dry, allowing your body to finally enter a healing state.

Resentment is just the ghost of the boundaries you didn't set. Press play to learn how to disappoint others so you can finally save yourself.

You are literally making yourself sick to make other people comfortable. So today we are tackling the ugly emotion. We aren't supposed to feel. We are talking about resentment. Empowering brilliant women in healthcare over 50 to transform burnout and compassion fatigue into renewed passion. Reigniting your spark to create a life that energizes you every single day. I'm your host, Dr. Jules. Let's get to it. You need to listen to the end of this episode because. I am going to explain the disease to please. I'm going to show you how your inability to disappoint others is creating actual inflammation in your body. We're going to work on the solar plexus chakra. This is your power center, and if you are a healer over 50, it is likely shut down from years of being a good girl and. I'm giving you the cord cutting visualization. This is how you reclaim your power from the people, the jobs, the institutions that are sucking you dry. So let's start with the science of all this. There's a brilliant field of study called psycho neuroimmunology. It's the study of how your mind affects. Your immune system. We got into that and learned about that when Kelly was battling his brain cancer. It's a real thing, and Dr. Gabor Mata writes extensively about this, and here's the hard truth. When you suppress anger, you suppress your immune system. And what is resentment? Well, resentment is just anger with a tuxedo on it's anger that you shove down because you wanted to be professional or you wanted to be nice or you wanted to be a good mother, therapist, nurse, doctor, whatever. But the body keeps score when you chronic, when you chronically suppress your authentic No. Your body gets confused and y'all, it starts attacking itself. This is why we see such high rates of autoimmune issues, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia. In women healers. Resentment is the biological cost of your self abandonment. Now, where does this live in your energy body? It lives in the solar plexus chakra, right in the pit of your stomach. This is your third chakra. This is your I am. It is your confidence, your will, your autonomy. And y'all, when you're resentful, it's a sign that you've given your power away. You've handed the keys to your happiness, to your boss, your spouse, your patience. When this chakra is blocked, you're gonna feel small. You're gonna feel invisible, and you're gonna feel a low level simmering rage that leaves you feeling trapped. In a life. In a life you built. So how do we fix this? Right? Okay, Jules, you're depressing me. How do we fix this? Well, good news. It's fixable. We take our power back. So we're going to do a cord cutting. I want you to close your eyes right now if you're able. And visualize the person, the job, or the specific obligation that makes your stomach tighten. See them standing in front of you. I want you to look at your stomach, your solar plexus. Do you see a cord connecting you to them? Is it thick? Is it dark? That is the energy drain. Now in your mind's eye, I want you to pick up a giant pair of sparkling golden scissors. And bear in mind, they're heavy, and girl, they are sharp. On the count of three, you are going to cut that cord, okay? One. Two, three snippet. Watch that cord recoil back to them and watch your energy Snap right back to you. Now place your hands on your stomach and say this out loud. I call my power back. It is safe to say no see. See, resentment is just the ghost of the boundaries. You didn't set. Today we set them. I have to ask you, where is this resentment coming from? Do you resent because you're playing the role of a martyr or maybe a perfectionist, you need to find out.
