Picture this: a herd of baby calves frolicking in the pasture, embodying pure joy and playfulness. That's the energy we're tapping into today on SoulJoy as we journey through the essential but often overlooked aspects of self-care—creativity, sexuality, and emotions. I'm Dr. Julie Merriman, and in this episode, I share cherished memories of my great-grandmother Wade from 1974, whose life was a testament to embracing these energies. From her creative resourcefulness during hard times on a Texas dairy farm to her stories of family and resilience, she taught me the importance of a balanced sacral chakra and living a multifaceted life.
If you've ever felt the weight of burnout, vicarious trauma, or compassion fatigue, especially in the helping professions, this conversation is for you. As a registered play therapist, I emphasize the power of play—not just for children but in every aspect of life, including relationships and personal pursuits. Whether it's designing costumes or engaging with a partner, play is a conduit for expressing sexual energy, creativity, and emotions. This episode is an invitation to embrace the colorful, messy, and sexy parts of life, offering a path to a more energized and fulfilling existence.
