Ep. 116 The Sanguine: The Light-Filled Stone | Living Stones Series (Part 2)

Do you ever feel like you start things with so much excitement… only to lose steam along the way?

Like you're drawn to what feels fun, light, and energizing—but struggle to stay when things get hard, slow, or just not as exciting anymore?

If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you 💛

This week on the Nourished to Bloom podcast, we're continuing our Living Stones series—exploring how God uniquely designed each of us to help build His Kingdom.

Because not every stone in a structure serves the same purpose…

🪨 Some carry weight ✨ Some bring light 🌿 Some create connection

And today, we're diving into the sanguine temperament—the light-filled stone.

The one that brings warmth, joy, and life into the spaces it enters.

If you're someone who:

• Loves people and connection
• Brings energy into a room
• Feels things deeply and lives in the moment

This might be you.

And your joy?

👉 It's not "too much." 👉 It's a gift.

But when that gift isn't grounded, it can leave you feeling scattered, inconsistent, or always chasing what's next.

In this episode, we explore how to move from fleeting excitement to lasting joy—by rooting your temperament in truth, stability, and God's design.

🌿 What we're unpacking together:

✨ What it means to be a light-filled stone—bringing joy, connection, and life into God's Kingdom

💛 Why your energy, enthusiasm, and relational nature are intentional gifts

⚠️ The shadow side: distraction, inconsistency, and avoiding what feels hard or uncomfortable

🧠 Coaching shifts to move from chasing feelings → building consistency

🌱 How to stay rooted even when things aren't exciting—and why that's where real growth happens

🙏 What it looks like to let your joy be anchored in God, not just your circumstances

✨ Try this this week:

If this resonates, here are a few simple ways to begin living this out:

• Finish one thing you've already started • Sit in stillness (even just a few minutes a day) • Notice when you want to move on just because something isn't "fun" anymore

And gently bring yourself back.

💛 A prayer for this week:

"Lord, help me to stay rooted in You. Teach me to find joy not just in what feels good, but in what is good. Give me the strength to remain, grow, and go deeper with You."

If you've been feeling scattered, restless, or like you're constantly moving from one thing to the next…

This episode is your invitation to something deeper:

👉 Not less joy—but lasting joy. 👉 Not less energy—but anchored energy. 👉 Not less freedom—but rooted freedom.

Stay tuned—next week we're diving into the melancholic temperament, the stone that brings depth, beauty, and meaning to the structure 🪶
