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

Welcome home. I'm Dr. Tama, a minister, licensed psychologists, 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.

Welcome home, co-journers. This episode is brought to you by Pepperdine University, the institution where I teach.

Since 1971, Pepperdine Graduate School of Education in Psychology has had one mission to strengthen professionals for lives of purpose, service, and leadership.

Online psychology at Pepperdine is the latest evolution of that mission, with online master's programs designed for people who want to align their work to their life's calling.

Students learn from faculty like myself who see sharing knowledge and mentoring students as an opportunity

to positively impact more communities.

Through an intuitive digital campus, students are connected to everything and everyone they need access to,

wherever they are, on any device. So pursue your purpose at online psychology at Pepperdine.

We have a submission for today from Eliza Kelly,

her vows.

And so let's see here. I take you to be everything I need in life. You were

born into this life for many reasons, most of which are fun, curious, and adventurous.
