Talking Joy Podcast

Why is it so hard to extend the same kindness to ourselves that many of us gladly offer to others? Pam recently declared 2020 the year of YOP--the year of Pam. Make 2020 the year of YOU! You can start doing this by practicing self-compassion. Pam says that you cant drink from an empty cup and practicing self-care isn't selfish--it's self-compassion. This practice helps us find the balance, peace and joy we are looking for. https://www.talkingjoy.org

Recently, Pam was asked to write up a list of things that elevate her vibration. During the podcast she shares some of her favorite things such as building an alter, her love of orchids and the spray she uses to clear her home and office space. https://www.talkingjoy.org

During our talk Pam uses a cup as a metaphor for life. We will be using the book, The Cup of Our Life, by spiritual director Joyce Rupp, as a companion. The book explores how the cup is a rich symbol of life, with its emptiness and fullness, its brokenness and flaws, and its many blessings. Learn more here https://www.talkingjoy.org
