Pouring our love, time, and energy into others - even when we’re exhausted.But in this conversation, Sarah and Debbie explore a very different kind of devotion:the devotion that begins with you. Not as self-care. Not as performance. But as a way of Being.Together, they explore what it means to listen beneath the noise of the mind, to meet what’s actually here and to attend to the deeper needs that bring us back into alignment, presence and wholeness.You’ll hear:✨ Why most of us mistake survival needs for true needs✨ How devotion becomes distorted into self-sacrifice✨ The difference between old cravings and soul-level nourishment✨ Why devotion is a radical act of honesty, responsibility, and love✨ What ontological devotion really means and how it dissolves old identities✨ Micro-moments of devotion that change everything: breath, presence, truthThis conversation shifts devotion from something you give away… to something you return to within yourself.🌿 Reflections to Sit WithWhere do you abandon yourself in the name of devotion?What do you think you “need” and what might actually lie beneath it?Is the need you’re meeting coming from presence… or from an old story?What would devotion look like in the smallest moment of your day?And can you soften enough to receive nourishment instead of forcing it?✨ InvitationLet these be openings, not answers.
