You are not a 24-hour spiritual help desk.
You do not owe anyone an apology for not picking up their emotional phone call while you were mid-ritual, mid-healing, or mid-nap.

Somewhere along the enlightenment highway, too many of us got handed an invisible headset and told to “hold space” like cosmic customer service reps—available at all hours, empathetic to a fault, and paid entirely in “good vibes.”

Spoiler alert: there’s no pension plan in people-pleasing.

☎️ “Thank You for Holding. Your Inner Peace Is Important to Us.”

There’s a moment when the lightworker turns into the light-drainer—usually around the third “I just need your advice real quick” text of the day.
We tell ourselves it’s compassion. But compassion without boundaries is just energetic leakage dressed in spiritual drag.

The truth is: boundaries aren’t barriers to love. They’re the sacred contracts that keep love sustainable.
Even Hekate closes the crossroads sometimes. Even angels clock out.

When your soul starts humming hold music and your third eye starts twitching, it’s time to hang up.

💁‍♀️ Sacred Rewrites of Old Policies

Old belief: “If I’m kind, I should always be available.”
New truth: “If I’m kind to myself, I can’t always be available.”

Old belief: “They’ll think I’m cold or selfish.”
New truth: “They might, but that’s not my cosmic concern.”

Old belief: “Boundaries will push people away.”
New truth: “Boundaries will reveal who’s actually walking with me.”

You can’t keep offering refunds for other people’s projections.
Stop trying to issue lifetime warranties for your kindness. Love doesn’t need a customer service line—it needs accountability, rest, and divine quiet hours.

🔥 The Fine Print of Empowerment

Setting a boundary doesn’t make you unspiritual. It makes you sovereign.
It’s the moment you realize that your empathy is a gift, not a coupon code.
You are allowed to let the call go to voicemail.
You are allowed to say “not today.”
You are allowed to choose peace over performance.

So close the energetic chat window. Take off the headset.
Light the candle. Not for someone else’s crisis—
but for your own reclamation of power.

🔔 Invitation
