Hi friends! This episode is a tad different. Forrest and I lost our 2 year old baby puppy and have been experiencing deep grief and also have seen beauty in the pain and feel HOPE. The first 12 minutes I talk about the pain of loss and grief in hope my realness will help someone else feel less alone. If that's too sad, fast forward to minute 15 where I talk more about the BEAUTY and HOPE!   How to Help Someone Grieving: 1. Let them know you are thinking of them 2. If physically able to see them, just be present with them 3. Show up and/or check in again. Grief is a long and painful journey. Your continued care means a lot. 4. NEVER JUDGE! Everyone grieves differently. Just love on them.   GOLDEN NUGGET last 5 minutes: BE KIND! YOU TRULY NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS GOING THROUGH! Don't go too fast or you miss the opportunity to care for someone.   SUBSCRIBE TO MONTHLY NEWSLETTER FOR FREEDOM UPDATES + EVENTS   Please message on instagram @soulfuljuls if this connected with you at all.

"Let it Flow" has been a phrase i repeat often when I can feel my body asking to feel.  Why do we always say, "Don't cry?" Pain demands to be felt and our body signals to us when she needs to move and feel along with our minds, hearts, and souls.   Listen to this episode to hear more about what can move THROUGH us instead of stopping with us.   https://www.soulfuljuls.com/

I love the Bible because as we read it over again different words and wows will always light us up and continue our growth. I absolutely LOVE Daniel and recommend reading it all.
