The Soul You Left Behind
A Story of Exhaustion, Awakening, and the Quiet Way Back to Yourself

She thought silence might break her.
Instead, it began to heal her.

Burned out, emotionally drained, and unsure who she is anymore, a woman walks away from the noise of her life—her job, her phone, her endless responsibilities—and checks into a seven-day silent retreat hidden deep in the mountains.

No talking.
No distractions.
Just breath, memory, and the quiet ache of her own soul rising back to the surface.

As the days unfold, what starts as an escape becomes a reckoning—with buried grief, fractured identity, and the voices of the past that never quite left her. In the stillness, she begins to remember the girl she used to be—the one who once dreamed, laughed, and believed in things unseen.

Told in lyrical, poetic prose, The Soul You Left Behind is a deeply moving novel about what happens when we finally stop running and start listening. It is about grief and growth, burnout and beauty, and the quiet but undeniable power of coming home to yourself.
