D.E.M.O. with Mo
I’m Monique Simmons, host of D.E.M.O. with Mo. I’ve been married to my husband Corey for 15 years, and together we’re raising two amazing kids while adjusting to the new season of having a young adult son. I created this podcast to give people a real, honest place to talk about relationships — the good, the hard, and the things I wish I’d known in my early years. I’m not here as an expert, just a Christian woman learning and growing every day. We’re all figuring out this thing called life together.

You Cannot Pour From an Empty Cup

Are you always there for everyone else? Do you show up for everyone else except yourself? Are you always taking care of your family and your job, but you’re not on that list?

In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss how this may not work for you in the end, and how you can always show up for yourself so that you're not pouring from an empty cup.

Key Highlights

[02:00] How to put yourself first

[05:10] What God has to say

[05:24] How Jesus spent time being filled with God

[11:08] Practically what one can do to fill their cup

[12:35] Connecting with God

[13:29] Emotions

[16:59] Someone else can also do it

Quotes

  • We cannot give to others if we are not taking care of ourselves
  • If we are not taking care of ourselves we will give from a place of deficiency
  • If you never take the time to rest and be renewed you will be burnt out
  • If we don't learn healthy mechanisms and ways to deal with our emotions, they will hurt the people we love the most
  • Always choose to take care of yourself so that you can give from a place of overflow and so that you can be the best version of you
