Have you ever juggled the realms of faith, femininity, and the quest for self-care? My friend Shayla Kirana joins me, Miriam Bulcher, in a heart-to-heart that explores these intertwined aspects of our lives. Shayla shares her insights on reconciling spiritual practices with self-love, and together we unearth the profound impact that religion can have on a woman's view of herself and her self-care rituals.

Expectations can be a towering presence in a woman's life, whether they stem from society, faith, or oneself. Shayla and I dissect how these expectations can shape everything from our morning routines to deep-seated views on self-worth. We address the guilt that often accompanies self-care and service, and the liberating realization that tending to one's own needs isn't selfish but vital. Join us as we celebrate the power of community support, the beauty in life's simple moments, and the courage it takes to step into the light of self-celebration.

Our conversation doesn't shy away from the tougher aspects of navigating womanhood and faith. We confront the reality of judgment and shame that can sometimes pervade religious communities, and discuss the transformative power of questioning and affirming one's faith. This episode is not just about sharing experiences; it's about fostering an environment where women can grow, question, and embrace their inner strength without fear of judgment. So, come along as we journey through these rich and intricate landscapes, building a bridge of understanding and embracing the universal quest for healing and self-discovery.
