I’m taking a break from studying to make a big announcement! On August 1, 2016 I will be launching my podcast, lovingly titled “My Strength and My Shield”!
A few months ago I began to think of ways to expand beyond Tumblr to explore more ways to engage with people who follow this blog. I sent out a survey and the OVERWHELMING response (thank you to the 500+ of you who answered!) was that a podcast and accompanying blog was something you would be interested in seeing from me. After much prayer and encouragement from loved ones, this podcast was born.
Spiritual and self care. As a person with many hats (black woman, young professional, Christian, dreamer, etc.) the older I get, the more I prioritize the balancing of spiritual and mental health. I believe that every person, regardless of faith or lack thereof, needs to balance both these things in order to not just survive in the world, but also to thrive. I am not a professional podcaster, and I am not perfect. But I’d like to have a conversation about the struggles of life, and overcoming those struggles. I’d like to have that conversation with you.
Each episode will be part bible study, part sharing of tips, and part answering questions from you! I hope to have discussions that pertain to people who are faithful Christians, those with Christian questions, those seeking spiritual centeredness without religion, and people who are just curious, a little something for everyone.
Every episode will have a theme and be split into three parts. Part 1 - Spiritual Care (i.e. a little bit of the word) Part 2 - Self Care (i.e. tangible ways to prioritize mental, physical, and emotional health) Part 3- Q&A (me answering questions sent in).
Would you like to be a part of this new experience?
Although the official launch will be on August 1, 2016, there are ways that you can begin this journey with me!
