Spiritual Care

As a nurse, you have heard this question dozens of times.

As a social worker, jail chaplain, and justice advocate, Bethany Dearborn Hiser pushed herself to the brink of burnout - and then kept going. Stress, despair, and compassion fatigue overwhelmed her ability to function. She was called to serve the abused, addicted, and homeless people in her community. Yet she was emotionally and spiritually exhausted. Something needed to change.

For centuries, black women have been groomed to neglect their emotional health. This has led to the birth of a generation of women who are so broken and damaged that we believe the relationships we cultivate should function in two settings only: ride or die.

Since life has become increasingly harder for everyone these days, in this book, I’m going to talk exactly about it.

What if something as simple as listening to song prayers could facilitate personal transformation in ways that bolstered your resilience thereby augmenting your emotional well-being? This is what my doctoral research found by documenting the experiences of four women veterans who listened to song prayers with regularity, repetition, intentionality, and reflection.

The Enneagram is a powerful spiritual system of personality types that reveals not just who we truly are but what we conceal in our Shadows. Each of us falls into one of nine types—archetypal characteristics that, when understood, can help us realize our strengths and accept our weaknesses. But, buried under your personality is your Shadow—that hidden part of ourselves where we push unwanted parts of our personality. The Shadow is where we put our childhood traumas, the traits we aren’t confident in, the desires we don’t want to show to the world.

Motherhood: the hardest, most rewarding job on the planet that grows us, teaches us, stretches us and fills our heart with more love than we could ever imagine. But what happens when we burn out?

We must stop putting ourselves last. We must remember that in order to love others and be the best mama we can possibly be, we must first nurture our mind, body and soul and let go of the guilt that surrounds us.
