Soul-Tired? The Post Pandemic Drain We Aren’t Talking About

Do You Feel Like You’ve Lost Your Spark — Even Though You’re Doing Everything “Right”?

You’re not alone. Many people are still carrying a deep exhaustion that hasn’t been named — the elephant in the room we’ve been living with since 2020. That is, the post pandemic hangover that is a mix of energy (electron) depletion and walls built up through isolation that many of us are carrying around with us – often, without even knowing it.

Life, while good or improving, is not feeling as love filled, as exciting or as safe as it once did. Our patterns of social interactions and feelings of spiritual connectedness have changed. When we finally DO find something we want to do or that we know is ‘good’ for us – it can feel like climbing a mountain to even get started. In some cases, new anxieties about being around others or doing new things have popped up. So too has a longing for re-connection with the world in more vitality and depth.

Sound familiar?

This is what a lot of people have been experiencing.

It is also something that I experienced and transcended, myself.

I call it ‘losing the spark’.

While everybody is different and it happens because of a combination of electron deficiency (which negatively impacts spiritual body + physical wellbeing), internalization of ‘isolation’ and the very real energetic and cognitive wall that we have to get over to re-birth ourselves into the world (without anxiety).

In this video message, I talk about how the spark went out for so many of us, why it happened, and offer hope for the path back to you. Are you the type who only reads summaries and skips over videos? In this case, I highly recommend you take a few moments and hear my voice + feel my energy when I speak about it.

We take more away from hearing a full message, experiencing a smile, and hearing someone passionately discuss a topic. As an uber driver so wisely said to me, recently,

“There is music in a persons’ voice. We get so much more out of hearing someone speak than we do reading a text.”

Not to mention – It can be healing to hear another person speak about their experience and in that, to take insights away into your own life that might change you.

Why We’re Still Carrying The Pandemic With Us

One of the reasons why I call this a spiritual elephant in the room is that this is something that most of us experienced. While some people were ‘happy’ during the pandemic and found positive self-connection and experience, many of us suffered. We endured job insecurity, separation from the Earth spaces and social activities that we loved, and many of us were put into situations that challenged our spiritual beliefs and ability to eat. We hear repetitive messaging every day about being in danger, experienced highly divisive media and political conditions, and the social fall out that came from that.

Many of us are still:

• processing what happened
• carrying emotional and spiritual weight
• struggling to reintegrate joy, play, and nourishment
• living behind an inner “wall” that keeps life feeling contained

This is a lot to endure – and it is a lot that we were not able to talk about.

What is unique about this situation is that we have had to endure all of the above behind closed doors. This is still a taboo topic when addressed too head on. Just as we were not free to discuss our concerns and the depth of our experience during the indoor years, we are not able to now on many forms of social media, in public spaces and in some cases – even still in our own families. Though things have ‘lightened’ to some extent – social media is a highly sanitized environment.

Slowing Down + Giving Yourself the Safe Space to Recharge

As I share in the video – for me, things eventually became so uncomfortable that it came to a head. Last year, I went to a waterfall as part of a regular self-care hike. That day, I was exhausted. I had been doing my spiritual work, taking care of my body – but no matter what I was doing, I just felt worse and worse.

Sitting with this very waterfall, I asked myself: WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO CHANGE?

Very clearly, the waterfall said, “Katie. You need to heal. You need to charge. You need to rest.”

Though I did not specifically know what the waterfall meant at first, I realized that the waterfall was right. As I did slow down and heal and rest – I also began a phase of academic research. As I got into it, I realized a whole new way to understand how Earth heals – specifically the role of electrons and the global electrical circuit in both our physical and biological well being.

As you know from my other work, Earth is covered with electrons. These electrons are the focus of the research on ‘grounding’. From a research perspective, when you become electron deficient (as many of us did from extended years indoors), it can be very hard to function properly. Anxiety and inflammation increase. Fatigue becomes the norm. From a spiritual research perspective, this extends beyond the biological body into the energetic one. Our intuitive senses, soul connection, and ability to feel spiritually well in this world are also negatively impacted when we spend a load of time indoors.

As I mention in the video – sometimes what we need to help light the spark back up is not intense spiritual practices or deep therapy. Sometimes what we need is good old fashioned nature connection for a season.

This is what “Light the Spark” workshop is about.

In “Light the Spark”, I share the precise information + protocol that I used to get myself (and now, many others) going again.

If this conversation resonates and you feel the need for a deeper container of support, you don’t have to walk this path alone. I created a mini class that is a spiritual workshop that walks you through how to relight the spark again. Knowing that people who feel overwhelmed, caution or low energy, I kept this one with low study time + the absolute best exercise to spark up with.
