07 - Spiritual Work: Spiritual / Creative Work As Giving & Learning To Receive

🌸 RE-UPLOAD 🌸In this episode, I discuss how much of what we do as spiritual people, artists, or creators is about giving.We can miss this because we enjoy it, but it can leave us energetically unbalanced. We can be depleted, especially if we are not allowing ourselves to receive any rewards for the work that we do too. We must validate ourselves.I also talk about how what I am doing goes beyond myself, "think of the children", my discomfort watching Euphoria and the anxiety that technology and social media encourage, considering its effects on the younger generation. Also, my first experience of the Argos catalogue was when I moved to the UK.It's okay to receive - whatever that looks like. Let us allow ourselves to charge for our services and to let people buy our work. It's OK to let God take care of us, too. Also editor's note: podcasting when you're used to recording on TikTok (video format) is doing air quotes, then remembering that you, as the listene,r can't see them. Podcasting when you're a writer is speaking with my writer hat on and choosing synonyms in the middle of the conversation. It's a fun experience switching gears.Thank you for being here,Laurel 🌸Like / follow / rate and share this podcast with everyone you know.Check out my work, including my poetry books Patchwork and Mama, We Are Here, out now via my website ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.You can contact me via email for a hello or collaboration at [email protected]'s connect:✨ @thespiritualpoetess - Threads✨  @thespiritualpoetess - TikTok✨ @bylaurelsibanda / @aquestforhomepodcast - InstagramDisclaimer:The information provided in this podcast is for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical, legal, psychological, or any other form of professional advice.
