YOUR Soulcare Podcast, with Desiree Jamila

Ep 2: Why Self-Care is NOT Enough

YOUR Soulcare Podcast: Why Self-Care Is NOT Enough How many times have you told yourself, “I just need a little more self-care,” only to find yourself stuck in the same old burnout loop by Monday morning? This is YOUR Soulcare Podcast with Desiree Jamila—and I’m here to call out the truth most of the wellness world won’t admit: self-care alone won’t save you. This episode isn’t about adding more to your to-do list; it’s about getting radically honest with yourself. We’re going past the spa days and bubble baths, straight into the heart of what you’ve been avoiding. STANDOUT QUOTES: * “No matter how many face masks you do, by Monday morning it’s like you never stopped moving in the first place.” * “For someone who values self care as much as you, if you’re calling your emotions annoying, that doesn’t sound like you’re taking very good care of yourself. Isn’t that a part of you too?” * “90% of self care is soothing, not solving a damn thing.” * “Soulcare is where you show up to process, not bypass.” 🎶 Theme music composed by Luke Enyeart [https://www.instagram.com/lukeenyeartmusic/?hl=en] GET ON THE WAITLIST for The Address Your M.E.S.S.

EP 1: The Success Facade

YOUR Soulcare Podcast — Episode 1: The Success Facade —If you’ve ever wondered why success doesn’t feel how you thought it would, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In this first episode of YOUR Soulcare Podcasst, Desiree takes you behind the scenes of her life working in Hollywood, and shares how finding "success" became her source for questioning everything. Whether you’re drowning in deadlines or secretly wondering why “making it” still feels hollow, this episode is your invitation to pause, and become more intentional with your wellness. STANDOUT QUOTES * “Ask yourself this: Why am I outsourcing my intelligence to somebody who has not been where I'm going?” (Desiree Jamila) * “Sometimes, the dream looks one way and reality is a whole nother.” (Desiree Jamila) * “When it comes to making decisions over your life, it's your life. Not your moms, not your best friends, not your co-workers, your spouse, your auntie, uncle, cousin, brother, sister... YOURS.” (Desiree Jamila) * “If someone with all of that—the talent, the resources, someone that I looked up to—could still find themselves feeling so empty, what did that mean for me? For the rest of us?” (Desiree Jamila) * “The path that is correct for you is coded in a way that only you can understand.” (Desiree Jamila) 🎶 Theme music composed by Luke Enyeart [https://www.instagram.com/lukeenyeartmusic/?hl=en] GET ON THE WAITLIST for The Address Your M.E.S.S.

EP 0: The Catalyst

YOUR Soulcare Podcast — EP-0: The Catalyst How many times have you pressed pause on your vision, just because it wasn’t “ready” yet? I spent four years caught in a loop of perfection, endlessly recording and deleting this very podcast. Not because I didn’t know what to say, but because I was convinced it had to sound perfect—every word polished, every feeling packaged, every truth digestible. But here’s the part nobody tells you: waiting for perfection will steal your impact. In this episode zero—my “prelude” to YOUR Soulcare Podcast—I get real about the emotional perfectionism that kept me stuck, and the devastating moment that finally broke that cycle.

Only if it sounded just right.” * “The moment I hung up the phone was the first time in my life I experienced a full body somatic response. My body knew grief had arrived.” * “His momentum became a mirror, reflecting my own creative hesitation. And it’s the reason you’re hearing my voice right now.” * “Where are you pressing pause on your voice, your vision, your becoming, because you think you’re not ready yet?” 🎶 Theme music composed by Luke Enyeart [https://www.instagram.com/lukeenyeartmusic/?hl=en] GET ON THE WAITLIST for The Address Your M.E.S.S.
