In this episode, Roseleen shows you how each turning point on the Celtic Wheel mirrors a stage of burnout, from the overextension of Summer Solstice to the surrender of Samhain and the renewal of Winter Solstice.

You’ll learn to spot where you are on the Wheel, recognise the ancestral and personal patterns that keep you stuck, and discover how to move through burnout with compassion, courage, and cyclical wisdom without bypassing the deep work your soul is calling for.

Drawing from 14 years of walking the Celtic Wheel and personal experience with burnout, Roseleen shares why burnout often requires more than time off… it needs excavation and rewiring of the patterns that got you there.

This episode is perfect for anyone who feels they are edging towards burnout, experiencing burnout, supporting someone through burnout. It’s also for anyone interested in understanding how the Celtic Wheel aligns to the seasons of burnout.

If you’re often described as highly independent or resilient but you struggle with slowing down and accepting support this is for you.

This episode honors the sacred threshold of Lughnasadh (Lúnasa), the first harvest point on the Celtic Wheel Lugnasadh. It calls us to celebrate and is a season of abundance, gratitude, and reciprocity. It's a time to celebrate what has ripened, acknowledge what's still growing, and what needs to be composted. The first harvest is not just about what you’ve grown, it's also about how you hold it, honor it and whether you're ready to let some of it go.

This is for you if:

You can see your harvest clearly and want to truly allow yourself to receive it fully

You can't see what you've grown yet and need guidance to see the bigger picture

Your harvest isn't visible yet and you need to trust what’s still growing and it's timing.

You measure success only on your external achievements/output and forget about all the inner expansion

You need to reassess your focus, energy and reflect on what's truly worth tending for the next cycle

Are you feeling stuck, burnt out, or like you’re living someone else’s life?

This episode dives into how to know when you’ve outgrown a story. What are the inherited roles, outdated beliefs, and unconscious identity scripts that are shaping your choices? How shifting your story can support you to feel free, aligned, and more alive again.

If you’ve been saying things like “I should be happy,” “This is just who I am,” or “It’s too late to change,” this episode will challenge those beliefs and invite you to start reweaving new empowering scripts into your being.

This isn't about burning your life down, rewriting your story guides you to release the roles that exhaust you, reclaim who you really are, and become the author of your own life.

Perfect for anyone who is navigating midlife, career changes, spiritual awakening, or has a deeper desire to live life on your terms.

• The connection between light and shadow work, and how to work with both

• How the quality of rest in Summer differs to that of Winter and why this nourishment is needed
• 
  

This episode invites you to stop hiding, honour the growth you’ve already lived, and trust the light within you. The energies of Summer Solstice are here to support you into becoming more fully alive and not just going through the motions.
