We don't grow in the dark, growth happens in the light.

I'm challenging you to come out of hiding, to shed secrets, to step beyond shame.

I'm challenging you to stand in the light of truth.

Why go to therapy because it's defined work?

When you are emotionally healthy, you are more powerful spiritually.

You are now listening to the in the light podcast hosted by Dr. Anita Phillips.

Hey, hey, hey in the light fans, this is Dr. Anita and we are back with another episode of the summer edition of the podcast.

What does summer edition mean?

It means that there won't really be guests this summer.

I'm going to be my own guest and you get the privilege of listening to me ramble about whatever is on my heart.

And I already know exactly what I want to talk about with you today.

Earlier this week before I recorded this episode, I posted a cartoon on my Instagram page from a comic strip called The Awkward Yeti.

The cartoonist's name is Nick Selik.

I don't know a lot about his background.

I don't know if his background is in psychology or he's just been through his own pain enough to write really deep, really insightful.

But also often funny comic strips about what's going on inside of us.

He writes cartoons about organs like not the organs you play, but your bodily organs.

So characters in the cartoons include our stomachs, intestines, kidneys, gallbladders, bladders, hilarious.

And his star organs are of course the heart and the brain.

Most of them are pretty hilarious, but some of them actually will make you stop and think deeply about what's happening with you.

And the cartoon that I posted on my Instagram earlier this week was one of those.

And you responded so strongly to this cartoon strip that I had to talk about it today.
