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

oh, oh, oh, oh,

Welcome home. I'm Dr. Tama, a minister, licensed psychologist, and sacred artists.

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 homecoming

podcast at gmail.com. Also after you listen, be sure to like, subscribe, and share. Let's begin.

I'm so glad you are with us for another episode of the Homecoming Podcast, and I am excited about today's topic.

It actually was a request from one of our co-journers about coping with alcoholism and other forms of addiction,

And I'm excited to introduce to you all one of my special beloved

sisters Reverend Dr Rosalim Brookings she is a pastor in Oakland where they do ministry both to the spirit but also to the heart

and mind and the material needs of the community.

She has an expertise, her doctorate

in liberation theology with a focus

on the experiences of women

and also the gift of the prophetic.

When she lived in Los Angeles, she taught a class

on the prophetic that I was blessed to attend

and it was amazing. And I'm excited for her to be willing to share her journey and her insight with us today.
