Summary

Devi reminds us that a real wellness practice isn’t about looking impressive or “creating an ideal version of yourself,” it’s about “building a relationship with yourself that you can return to consistently….It’s not difficult, it’s effortful,” and “wanting healing without devotion… is not possible.”

You’ll come away with permission to stop performing your self-care, to trust small moments of real-life integration (one breath before responding counts), and to build a flexible practice across mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs.

The soul work is simple: ask, “What do I need right now?” then write down what comes up without judgment.

0:31.6	wherever you're listening to it now. So Apple, Spotify, even YouTube. Okay, today we are diving in to practice. I want to talk about
0:43.3	something that I think has become deeply misunderstood within the wellness industry and the
0:48.4	overall culture of wellness. It is the idea of having a practice.
0:59.7	We have confused having a practice with performance, perfection, and aesthetics.
1:07.5	But real practice is not about creating an ideal version of yourself or an aspirational version of yourself.
1:12.8	It's about building a relationship with yourself that you can return to consistently. And all of life is about building relationship. And I think that's one of the
1:20.9	areas that even as we continue to deepen conversations about community and not self-isolating
1:26.0	and really the loneliness epidemic we have to understand
1:29.7	is that relationship can be found in any and absolutely everything. Whatever involves your
1:38.7	participation you are in relationship with. So that can be a person, that can be a place, that can be a thing,
1:45.8	that can be a limiting thought and idea, and that can absolutely be the system of self-care
1:52.5	practices that you employ every day. One of the reasons that they start to feel hard or
