Seeing Beyond with Shona - 31 July 2025

Loading player...
Reverend Shona joined the team to share a timely and thoughtful reflection on the importance of recharging—not just our phones, but ourselves. Drawing a parallel between the battery life on our cellphones and our own personal energy, she encouraged listeners to take stock of how “charged” they are feeling as winter drags on. With many people feeling tired, stressed, and worn down, Shona urged everyone to pause and ask: Are you running on empty?

She shared simple, soulful ways to refuel—whether it’s a walk in nature, a quiet bath, or simply a change of scenery. The message was clear: just like we top up our phones daily, we need to make time to recharge our inner batteries to live fully and give our best. As always, her insights were delivered with warmth, humour, and a gentle nudge to take better care of ourselves—especially as we look ahead to spring.
