💩 Sacred Sharts & Soul Service: A Teaching on Prioritizing Your Own Needs

This morning, I had a very real moment that Spirit promptly turned into a sermon.

I got up late after a night of too-late bedtimes. The dog hadn’t been out yet, school was looming, and the pressure was on. In my rush, I thought:

Let me just sweep up the dog hair real quick before I pee… then I’ll take him for a walk.

But while sweeping, I made the mistake many have made before me.

I trusted a fart.

Spoiler alert: It lied.

Y’all… I had already pooped that morning. Like, full release, done and dusted. But here I was, broom in hand, needing a full shower and a change of clothes before I could even think about walking the dog. My entire schedule got delayed.

And yet… something deeper clicked.

🌬️ This Was a Holy Disruption

My body wasn’t malfunctioning.

It was intervening.

It was saying:

You’re rushing back into service. You're tending to the world before you’ve even finished tending to yourself.

Even though I thought I’d already “cleared” — physically and emotionally — my system knew there was residual energy still stuck, something unprocessed, or maybe even something I picked up overnight from the collective. It demanded a second release. And it gave me no choice but to stop everything and clean myself up.

🪞 What I Realized:

So often, we microwave our self-care just enough to say we did it — and then we barrel forward into tending the kids, the animals, the clients, the house, the world.

But when you live a life of service — especially as an energetic sensitive, healer, or caregiver — your system becomes incredibly attuned to what’s unfinished, ignored, or bypassed.

And sometimes…

if you won’t pause, the sacred mess will make you.
