Soul Yoga Podcast

I was inspired by a conversation with a co-worker to talk about my experience with the conception, pregnancy and birth of my little dude. He's now 27-months old, and there is certainly a part of me that longs to be pregnant again. Honestly, I puked the entire time. It was challenging. But it was also the most magical moment of my life.

Let me give it to you straight - in this episode I share the moment where I was able to transfer the feeling of being safe and secure from employment to love. Straight up. That's the breakthrough. For my whole life, the thought of being unemployed made me feel sick to my stomach - like how would I even life. I would probably not live. I would probably die - get evicted, live on the street, no money for food, then die. There were so many little points over the last 3 years (all of which I'm writing in my first-ever book) that lead me to lessening the bond that employment had over me and here was the final straw: when I am anchored in love and in who I am, that's where my feeling of safety and security comes from. I no longer need employment to feel safe and secure.

All I can think of is how unpopular this title may be! Rarely do we admit that we desire to be seen, and seldom is it talked about to minister to yourself first before serving others. I recently heard a quote that explained that self-care is preventative - you care for yourself first, then serve others. It's self-care, not after-care. Growing up in a traditional Christian house, it was a subtle message to always be giving and that any care for yourself was selfish. My parents never said that, but it was a common practice. Many leaders would talk about how they would feel guilt if they took a day off for self-care. After working for a non-profit, Christian organization in 2012/2013, I hit a low point and began to prioritize self care over everything else. Now, years later, as a new mom, I want to give everything to my babe, but am searching for the middle ground to make sure I'm giving from a full cup.

In this episode I share about a conversation with my husband that got my mind running. I find I am so quick to lean on technology for support and after some soul-searching in this episode, I find that the root of my reliance on technology is due to an absence of real, authentic Community. Do you share this view of community? Send me your thoughts!
