When the Truth Drains You
This morning reminded me how fast we lose ourselves—even when we’re right.
When the Truth Drains You
This morning, my body felt tired.
But not tired like lack of sleep.
Tired like soul drag—that heavy, low-vibration fatigue that makes it hard to even lift a brush, much less feel present in your day.
And here’s what I realized:
It didn’t come from doing too much.
It came from being in the wrong energy for too long.
Let me explain.
I spent part of this morning diving into the information surrounding the shooting in Minneapolis.
I felt called to it—not just out of curiosity, but out of responsibility. I wanted to understand what really happened. I wanted to stay awake. I wanted to be able to speak with clarity, especially when I noticed a paid subscriber had shared misinformation in a Note thread.
I didn’t attack. I didn’t shame.
But I did correct it. Because truth matters.
But the whole time, I could feel it…
My energy was sinking.
And then the clarity came:
This is why I’ve spent the past year avoiding 90% of the news cycle.
Not because I don’t care.
But because I do—deeply.
And caring that deeply in the presence of constant manipulation, distortion, fear, and violence?
That’s a fast road to depletion.
And let me go one step further:
That’s how we get sick.
This is how dis-ease grows.
Not just physical illness—but emotional fog, spiritual detachment, mental static.
When we stay too long in the wrong energy, we lose access to the part of us that knows better.
But here’s the turning point.
After I acknowledged all of that, I remembered something else:
I have a choice. And so do you.
I can choose to exit the loop.
I can choose to sit in silence.
I can choose to breathe, not scroll.
I can choose to realign with my soul before I decide how to move through the rest of this day.
Because I know this:
Alignment first. Action second.
When I move from soul, I don’t feel scattered. I don’t feel hooked. I don’t feel like I’m shouting into the void.
And I sure as hell don’t feel sick.
So that’s what I’m doing now.
I’m going quiet. I’m choosing realignment.
And from there, I’ll decide what’s next.
If you feel heavy today—
If your mind is foggy and your chest is tight and you’ve been online too long—
You can pull back. You can sit down. You can return to your own knowing.
That’s not weakness.
That’s wisdom.
Because the truth doesn’t just live in the headlines.
It lives in your nervous system.
And if yours is sounding the alarm, listen.
You can’t save the world from depletion.
But you can refuse to contribute to your own.
Breathe. Step out of the spin. Return to your center.
That’s where your real power lives.
And that’s the only frequency I want to live from.

The photo with my eyes closed? That wasn’t posed.
That was me, in real time, returning to my center with the same breath ritual I’ve used to calm my system for over a year now.For the next 24 hours, the Daily Breath Ritual PDF is free.
This is the practice I use—often multiple times a day—to return to myself.
You saw me in it in today’s post.

No fuss, no formality. Just something I wanted to offer while the moment is still open.It’s simple.
It’s accessible.
And it works—whether you’re in the middle of the storm or just trying to reset before your next cup of coffee.If you’d like to learn it, I created a one-page guide you can keep nearby.
It’s called the Daily Breath Ritual, and it’s the exact practice I come back to, day after day—sometimes multiple times a day.
Heart it if you’ve ever felt truth drain you. Share it if someone needs permission to step back today.
This explains a kind of tiredness many women carry quietly.
It is not burnout from work, it is depletion from moving without inner agreement.
I can’t sleep after watching the news. It’s too much. Instead I read something spiritually uplifting before bed and sleep like a baby. Then I wake up feeling alive and ready to share what I’ve got.
