Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh, oh, oh this is Homecoming, a podcast for those on a spiritual and

psychological journey back home to themselves. I'm Dr. Tama, a psychologist,

minister, and sacred artist that is here to facilitate your journey.

I want you to know that this is a supplement to any therapeutic process, but this does not

constitute therapy.

I will be here with you weekly to provide tips and motivation

to get you from where you are to where you were born to be.

Welcome, let's begin. Today we're going to talk about being homesick, how we got

disconnected from ourselves and how we can start the journey back. I am so glad that you're tuned in and I want to tell you that

you are not the only one that sometimes loses their way from themselves. We are all at times in our lives a little homesick. Many of us have

found our dreams, our hopes, and our visions in the lost and found. We have left

ourselves behind. But the beautiful thing is when we come to the realization

this is not who I am this is not who I was born to be and I am clear this is not where I want to stay. When you get to

that awakening you have already begun the process of the shift

S-H-I-F-T, shifting out of the old and into the new. So when we talk about being

homesick or being disconnected from ourselves, I want to first talk about the things that disconnect

us. How did we get lost? How did we lose that place of home? And there can be different pieces that get us off track and I'm using us

intentionally because even as a mental health professional, even as a minister, I have my own

journey and I have my own story.

And so when I talk about being homesick and longing to come home to yourself,

it is not just something I have read in a book or worked with clients about but a journey I had to take for myself to come back to who I am and all that that represents.
