I Heard the Signs. I Ignored the Signs. Then My Body Spoke Louder.

I Heard the Signs. I Ignored the Signs. Then My Body Spoke Louder.

In Season 2, Episode 2 of Healers with Humor, Shelly and I talked about signs, the angel numbers, the breadcrumbs, the unexpected donut trucks messages from the other side.

But here's the thing: not all signs are poetic or subtle.

Some are loud, embodied, and disruptive.

I want to take you behind the episode; into the moment I realized how long I’d been ignoring my own signs… until they showed up in my body and refused to be silenced.

The Moment Everything Changed

It happened during a healing session. I wasn’t even looking for answers that day, it just landed.

I heard my guides so clearly:

“We tried to get your attention with your back issue, when the trauma was ready but still repressed. You kept pushing. We gave you time. But when the next layer rose to the surface, it was go time. We had to get louder. Because otherwise, you would’ve kept pushing through again.”

That moment shattered me. It also freed me.

I realized I was living in a heavy loop:

-Healing but not integrating.

-Processing but not pausing.

-Spiritually “working hard,” but skipping the sacred rest.

And my body? It held all of it. Until it couldn’t anymore.

Before the Breakdown; The Signs Were Everywhere

Back then, I was a classic high functioning "people pleaser" in corporate. Promotions. Project launches. Bigger teams. Always something "important" to show up for.

I told myself I had to do it all.

It was burnout in slow motion, masked as dedication.

But the truth? My bandwidth was gone. I’d outsourced every ounce of my energy. The cost? Me.

My body tried to speak in whispers:

  • Daily fatigue

  • Emotional dullness

  • Numbing out to trash TV

Then it screamed: My lumbar disc re-bulged. The pain was excruciating.

And still? I canceled a few work trips and kept going.

I wanted to be okay so badly.

Breakdown, or Breakthrough?

Eventually, it stopped being optional.

Vertigo. Nervous system collapse. Emotional fog. It wasn’t just burnout, I was spiritually undone.

This wasn’t a moment for hacks or high vibes. It was ego death. It was surrender.

I took a six-month leave from work. I got quiet. I asked for help.

And from that silence... my real healing began. This wasn’t just about stress, it was about repressed and unprocessed trauma, inner child patterns, ancestral echoes. This wasn’t a “light a candle and manifest it” kind of moment. It was deep, shadowy work that pulled me inward and brought everything up to the surface.

Your Turn; What Signs Are Speaking to You?

Shelly and I talked in the episode about spirit numbers, animal messengers, and symbolism from passed loved ones (yes, even donuts).

But some signs aren’t sweet. They’re stubborn. Loud. Physical.

Sometimes:

  • Your anxiety is the sign

  • Your back pain is the message

  • Your tears at random commercials are the divine tap on your shoulder

Whatever it is, don’t wait until your body has to scream to get your attention.
