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

Welcome home.

I'm Dr. Tama, 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 at gmail.com. Also, after you listen, be sure to like,
