In this episode, we talk about the concept of nurturing ourselves like a mother. What does this look like? What if you don't have a good example of what mothering looks like, or you have no time, energy, or money to allot yourself day to day? Or what if you've been taught that taking good care of yourself (especially in a loving, maternal sort of way) is frivolous, or somehow, anti-Christian? Can we experience God as a mothering presence? Let's talk!

It's hard to let go of things, and as it is with our physical "stuff," so it is with the stuff we hold onto in our minds, hearts, and emotions. Today we're talking through what happens when we clean out the closet of our souls. What have you been holding onto that just doesn't fit you anymore? It doesn't mean you don't appreciate it, or think of it fondly, but it's time to do the hard work of saying thank you and cleaning it out. What this creates is a life that feels crafted for who we are now and who we are aspiring to be, without the extra weight of the past.

Let's talk about the GO! I've felt the "go" in me since I was little -- that drive to go somewhere new and experience something exciting. Whether near or far, with a huge budget or just living normal life in a different location, getting away will nourish your soul, challenge your comfort zone, and shore up what you believe about God, yourself, and others. Go for it!
