The Aligned Human Project
The Aligned Human Movement with Dawn Elgin - Contrarian Soul Guide, Spiritual CEO, and founder of Practical Spiritualism, explores what it means to live in harmony between field and form, science and spirit, feminine and masculine.
Each week, Dawn and her guests unpack the quantum mechanics of alignment, the psychology of peace, and the practical tools of co-creation drawn from Field + Form: The 12 Laws of Co-Creation. This isn’t self-help, it’s soul alignment. If you’ve ever felt like success costs too much, if your mind won’t stop, or your soul knows there’s more, this is your home.
Join The Aligned Human Movement and let’s remember: Busy isn’t a badge, it’s a cage.
It’s time to harmonize your humanity.

EP 33: Healing Overwhelm, Anxiety & Burnout
Healing Overwhelm, Anxiety & Burnout
Subtitle: Stop Managing the Chaos — Start Aligning with the Cycles
Have you ever felt like you're doing all the things — meditating, journaling, green-juicing, yoga... — and yet you're still exhausted, anxious, and on the brink of burnout?
In this episode of Sovereignty Rising, your contrarian soul guide Dawn unpacks one of the most misunderstood truths about burnout: It’s not because you’re doing too little. It’s because you’re trying to control what was never meant to be controlled.
You’ll discover:
- Why burnout isn't about weakness — it's a signal you're out of rhythm
- The lie of control and how it fuels your anxiety
- The real medicine for overwhelm (hint: it’s not more productivity)
- How to reconnect to your natural cycles and seasons to restore peace, vitality, and alignment
✨ What You’ll Learn:
- Why anxiety and burnout are feedback — not failure
- How presence is power (and how to access it now)
- Why ignoring your internal seasons leads to emotional collapse
- The secret to moving from exhaustion to embodiment
🧘🏼♀️ Embodiment Practice: Restoring Rhythm

- You don’t have a burnout problem. You have a control problem.
