As we set foot on the start of the new year, we tend to be anxious about what will come our way. In this episode, I will share an experience of mine that lead to a spiritual breakthrough. IN THIS PODCAST:

• Story Time
• God’s Revelation to Me
• Journal Prompts

Story Time

I talked about how I overthink my fear when my therapists leave my practice over the years. As I pondered in my car, overthinking why my therapist wanted me to call her, I quickly realized that this might be a slight trauma response because of my past experiences.

God’s Revelation to Me

As I reflect on my journey, God revealed that no matter what happens, He’s still there and He is good.

Journal Prompts

1. What are the things you look forward to this year?
2. What do you want to accomplish?
3. How do you implement what you’ve learned to achieve what you want this year to look like?
4. Who are the people you want to surround yourself with?

 

Say This Prayer With Me

Dear God,

On this day I ask You to grant this request,

May I know who I am and what I am,

Every moment of every day.

 

May I be a catalyst for light and love,

And bring inspiration to those whose eyes I meet.

May I have the strength to stand tall in the face of conflict,

And the courage to speak my voice, even when I'm scared.

 

May I have the humility to follow my heart,

And the passion to live my soul's desires.

 

May I seek to know the highest truth

And dismiss the gravitational pull of my lower self.

May I embrace and love the totality of myself,

My darkness as well as my light.

 

May I be brave enough to hear my heart,

To let it soften so that I may gracefully

Choose faith over fear.

 

Today is my day to surrender anything that stands

Between the sacredness of my humanity and my divinity.

May I be drenched in my Holiness

And engulfed by Your love.

 

May all else melt away.

And so it is.

My podcast is for therapists who are desiring a deeper connection with God and engaging their spirituality in new ways. A space to allow the sacred to intersect with work. A place for those who want to get curious and explore the fringes of their faith while growing a practice and lifestyle that they love.

With the new year right around the corner, this is the perfect time to reflect on what we’ve learned over the past year and look forward to the next.
