Self-Care as a Spiritual Practice: Learning to Be a Disciple of Your Body

In this episode of A Soulful Rebellion, I had the pleasure of speaking with self-care alchemist Cassandra Juniphant about the deep connection between self-care and spirituality. We explored how self-care is often misunderstood as selfish, how generational trauma can shape our approach to caring for ourselves, and why it’s so important to honor the body as a sacred temple. Cassandra shared practical ways to embrace self-care, encouraging us to become disciples of our own bodies and to protect our callings by prioritizing our health. Our conversation was filled with powerful insights on nurturing both body and spirit for true holistic wellness and personal transformation.
