We speak to the woman running on empty and offer a gentle, biblical way to reset through breath, Scripture, and aroma. We start by naming the honest ache of spiritual exhaustion, then ground the path forward in Scripture’s own use of sacred oils—from frankincense to myrrh.
You’ll hear a candid story of pastoral burnout, the evening a single drop of cedarwood became a turning point, and how the nervous system’s response to scent can serve prayer instead of distraction. From a dawn ritual with lavender and Psalm 46:10 to midday clarity with peppermint and rosemary, we offer tiny, tangible cues that help you return to God in real life: while cooking breakfast, before a hard meeting, or when grief sits heavy. This is not self-care theater; it’s soul care rooted in creation, designed to be simple, repeatable, and kind.
