Welcome home, I'm Dr. Tama, a Minister of 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 the

same as personalized therapy.

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

If you want to request specific topics or to submit a poem for me to read on the podcast,

email me at homecomingpodcastsatgmail.com.

Let's begin.

Welcome home co-journers, I'm glad you're here for another episode and I'm grateful that

we have a poem submission from Elena McMillan and Elena's piece is called Belonging.

Home for me means a safe place to undress myself and feel seen from the inside out.

To bear witness to the divine being that I have been called to be.

Home for me is a place where my authentic self can play and take up space, without outside

pressure from eyes and whispers.

Two ingredients bound to make me feel guilty of the power I possess when I enter a room

along my journey.

If I happen to face moments of wanting to shrink, I walk up to Amira and speak.

You are more than the shape of your body.

You are more than the hair on your head.

You are more than the clothes that you wear.

You are much more than eye candy satisfying a sweet tooth.
