Why Talk Therapy Cannot Fix Your Spiritual Burnout and The Crown Chakra Solution

You would never let a patient ignore a gaping wound, and you would never let a client starve themselves. So why are you committing that exact violence against your own soul every single day?

Today, the doctor becomes the patient. We aren't talking about skipping lunch; we are talking about "Pathological Altruism"—the medical and caregiving training that taught you to view your own survival as secondary. If you feel cynical, hollow, and like you are just a "body" doing a job rather than a soul living a life, you aren't just burned out. You are suffering from Spiritual Depletion, and no amount of sleep or standard talk therapy will fix it because the wound is in your spirit, not your mind.

In this episode, Dr. Julie performs an emergency intervention on your self-neglect. You will discover why your Crown Chakra is blocked (and why that makes you feel so profoundly alone). We explore how to reverse the "martyrdom" programming of your professional training and introduce the "White Light Shower"—a visualization technique to wash away clinical sterility. It is time to remember that you are a miracle, not a machine.

You cannot heal the world if you are broken. Press play to learn how to treat yourself with the same reverence you give to strangers.

This podcast supports women healers over 50 navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions with strategies for nervous system regulation, trauma-informed boundaries, and chakra alignment to heal resentment and self-neglect while cultivating soul joy, radiance, and a purposeful next chapter of freedom and inner peace.

Burnout isn’t your failure—it’s the cost of caring too long without support.

Welcome to the 12 Days of Radiance. We are ditching the holiday overwhelmed to take you from exhausted and trapped to radiant and free. This is your end of year reconnection. Hmm. You would never let a patient ignore a gaping wound. You would never let a client starve themselves. So why are you doing exactly that to your own soul? Today? The doctor becomes the patient. 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. Today is the most important intervention of your life, y'all. We are tackling the epidemic of self neglect. You need to listen to the end of this episode because I'm going to explain why your self neglect isn't a lack of discipline. It's actually a lack of spiritual connection. We're opening the crown chakra. When this is blocked, you feel cynical, you feel disconnected, you feel like you are mm, just a body doing a job. Rather than a soul living a life, and I'm teaching you the white light shower, this is a visualization to wash away the clinical stale stair T. This is a visualization to wash away that sterile clinical piece and to help you reconnect to you. And your divine purpose. Okay, let's look at the psychology here. This is a concept called pathological altruism. This is what we were trained for in medical school and nursing supervision and our clinical supervisions. We are trained to view our needs as secondary. We wear our exhaustion like a badge of honor. But biologically, if the organism and that's you, isn't nourished, it dies. And I'm not just talking about physical death y'all. I'm talking about spiritual burnout. This happens when you lose faith in the healing process itself because you are so depleted. You stop believing that change is possible because you feel so stuck. This spiritual depletion lives in your crown chakra. It's at the top of your head. This is your connection to the divine, to source to God, to whatever you call it. When you neglect yourself, you are sending a message to the universe. You are saying that the divine spark within you isn't worth saving. You are saying you are a machine, not a miracle. We need to reopen that channel. We need to remind you that you are part of something bigger than your to-do list. Your worth is not tied to the work you do. So here's the activity. The white light shower, it's gonna help reconnect. So we're going to take a white light shower. When you're able, I want you to sit comfortably and close your eyes, and I want you to imagine a trap door opening at the very top of your head. Visualize a beam of pure iridescent white light pouring down from the universe Y. It's warm, it's healing. Feel it. Enter your skull. Feel it washed down your neck, into your heart, down your arms, and into your hands. Imagine it pushing out gray, stagnant energy of the hospital or the clinic. Watch that gray energy leave through the soles of your feet. Let the light feel you until you are glowing. Remind yourself, I am not just a worker. I am a vessel. You cannot heal the world if you are not connected. You must treat yourself with the same reverence as you treat those you take care of. You need to know what your archetype is, so I need for you to please take my, what's your burnout, compassion, fatigue, archetype quiz that I have linked in the show notes. Heal Yourself first. We rise together. If this episode hit home, don't just nod and move on. Give yourself what you actually need. Tap the show notes right now to grab your free Compassion Fatigue Cure Starter Guide, or.
