What does it look like to really take care of ourselves?

Now, some of us just thought of our favorite way to kick back and relax.

Others remembered their weekly routine or go-to outdoor activity,

or the meal that makes the whole family happy.

But what if we went a level deeper and asked,

how do we care for the soul God gave each of us?

We'll talk about this today with licensed professional counselor Deborah Feleda and how we can ward off burnout.

Let's talk about it all right now on takeaways.

Deborah Falada says that her deep love for Jesus has been the driving motivator,

propelling her forward in her pursuits as a wife, as a mother, a licensed professional counselor,

podcaster, speaker, and author. She specializes in dating, marriage, and relationship issues,

along with mental and emotional health.

She's also the author of several books, including Soul Care, which we're going to be talking about today.

Deborah, thanks so much for joining us again on takeaways.

It's so good to be here again.

Well, I couldn't be more interested in a subject than this one, soul care, because you hear about it,

and sometimes it's conflated with self-care, spa days. I got to spend more time on me.

And so people sometimes shy away from soul care. But in your book, you're talking about Jesus practicing soul care.

So I'm really excited about us understanding the differences and finding those rhythms so that we can be

healthy. Yeah. Yeah, Christians struggle with the word self-care. And rightly so. I think a lot of people worry that self-care is selfish,

because it has a lot of self-in-it.

And here's what's interesting, though.
