Dr. Deborah Adamy, also known as Mama A, host of the podcast “Enlighten: Uplift & Inspire”, reflects on the past year, thanking her 51 guests of 2018. She enjoys not only the fascinating careers and passions of her guests, Deborah truly appreciates their authenticity and open-heartedness, their ability to be vulnerable, to find meaning in challenges, compassion in suffering and a renewed sense of purpose as they learn and grow from whatever they experience in life. Deborah tells a personal story of how her internal voice of judgment reared its ugly head and applies some simple, effective tools to quiet the judgment, leaving room for compassion to guide her. She reads the powerful essay of American author, poet, and Jungian therapist, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, called “We Were Made for These Times”, a piece Deborah reads often, particularly when she needs to resist the temptation to feel overwhelmed with all that is unjust in our world. Listen to why this piece uplifts and inspires Mama A to honor her light, radiate her light and shine light on the light of others. All souls on deck for a transformative 2019!
