Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Welcome home.

I'm Dr. Tema, a minister, licensed psychologist and sacred artist, and this is Homecoming,

a podcast to facilitate your journey home to yourself.

While I will provide weekly inspiration

and mental health tips, this podcast is not a substitute

for therapy.

I'm so excited you're on the journey.

If you want to request specific topics

or share your progress, email me at homecomingpodcast

Also, after you listen, be sure to like, subscribe,

and share.

Let's begin.

Welcome home co-journers.

I welcome the diversity of our audience, both in culture

and also in religious tradition.

And so our first poem comes from a Buddhist perspective.
