You get to say yes to your relationships. You get to say yes to the young children, the girls you have taken in. But it starts with the nourishment of your own soul. So I want to invite you to start doing morning rituals. where you feed your spirit before you start the day so that you do not go through the day running on empty. Feed you first. This made some sense to you today?

That's right. We have to be intentional so that we don't take relationships for granted or take people for granted. Sometimes we're like, oh, I know those are my folks, but we turn to them more when we're in crisis or in need or we neglect the relationship because we figure they'll always be there.

So we have to be intentional about engaging and creating moments and memories with each other that are joy filled. Have to do that on purpose and protect time for it.

Yes. So for matters of the heart, I have to connect it to my first book, which is Homecoming, because living for me a well-nourished life is being at home with yourself, being rooted and grounded from the truth of you. And my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Shelley Harrell, describes it as soulfulness. that if I live from a soulful, authentic place, then I am fully alive.

And being fully alive and showing up means that I have love for myself, that I have love for other people, that I let that guide the ways in which I show up. And I also, there is fruit to my soulfulness, right? When I am living from an authentic place, there is impact in the world around me. And so where's your fruit, right?

If I'm living rooted and grounded in the truth of who I am, and that fruit is not a fruit that drains me or depletes me, when I'm living my path, that actually renews me and restores me. And so that's the gift of it for me. And my fruitfulness and my soulful living won't look like somebody else's.

It's like I meet some people and they say, oh, my goodness, you're a trauma survivor and a trauma psychologist. That must be so draining. And I say, no, this work leaves me in awe. Like I'm inspired to be able to walk with people through that like healing process. But for somebody else, it would be draining.

Some people who work in a corporate space, they get fed by it because they're called to it. Other people are like, I couldn't do that work. Right. When you talk about doing like all these interviews for some people that that sounds like, oh, my gosh, you have to talk to people all day. And you're like, that's. That's my life. Energizing, stimulating for me. Yes.
