As the year comes to a close, many of us feel a mix of relief, exhaustion, reflection, and quiet grief—all at once. In this Wellness Illuminated episode, Dr. Lara May invites you into a grounding conversation about completion and why true healing and renewal cannot happen without it.

Burnout is often blamed on doing too much, but what if it actually comes from what was never fully finished—unresolved stress, unprocessed emotions, postponed grief, or seasons of life you’ve outgrown but haven’t released? From a functional medicine and nervous system perspective, unfinished experiences keep the body stuck in survival mode, quietly draining your energy.

In this episode, Dr. Lara May explores the science and energetics of completion and guides you through a sacred pause designed to help clear burnout residue from your nervous system, physiology, and energy field—so you don’t unconsciously carry it into the new year.

This is not about resolutions or rushing ahead. It’s about honoring what has been, so you can move forward with clarity, steadiness, and integrity.
