Hello and welcome to enlightened empaths, your community for the spiritually awakened

awaken, where we discuss, explore, and connect with fellow empaths, healers, intuitives,

and seekers.

Hello, empaths. We hope you're having a lovely start to your week. Denise and I received this

email question. And you know, normally what we do when we receive questions is we put them in a little

file and we save them for our community connection show. But this one really stood out to us

for many reasons. One, I think we can all relate to it. And two,

we've been getting a lot of emails that are similar to this. So I hope that this email, when we

read it, will resonate with a lot of people and remind others who have written into us

of stories they've shared, of their own struggles.

So I'm just going to dive in, if that's okay with you, Denise, and read it.

Sounds great.

Okay, so this person wrote, I have a question I've been wanting to write for some time, but didn't quite know how to ask.

It still may not come out smoothly, but I'm going to try my best

and hope you can understand. How do you get your spark back? I've been feeling spiritually

exhausted for years since going through a long and extensive dark night of the soul where I carry

the load for my parents. Spirit and nature were my rocks. Nine years ago,

meditation, faith, and working with spirit guided me to lovingly walk my family into freedom

from a lifetime of abuse. Once I had taken care of my parents and ensured they were in a good place,

I went through a series of abusive experiences

myself that helped teach me self-worth, but drained the last sense of spark out of me.

My life is beautiful now. I just got engaged to a sweet, kind man, who I'm so glad I waited
