Thank you for joining me for a new episode of Are You Spiritual! In my first solo episode, I explore the idea of why people are turning to spirituality in our current times. While 27% of the population is identifying as spiritual outside of a religion, I discuss the potential health benefits of being "SBNR" (spiritual but not religious) and share my own experience and how becoming spiritual has helped me live a more mindful life.
