I've recently been struggling with the question of whether or not everything happens for a reason, and I think this ties to a broader debate surrounding spirituality and religion. On today's episode, I present both sides and discuss the benefits and pitfalls of each. While believing "yes" makes life more interesting, highlights major turning points, and functions as a driving force in life, it can also become a disempowering crutch, reinforce our self-centeredness, and dismiss the grieving process when devastating events happen. I hope this episode sparks some questions in you, because asking questions is one of the most important things in life.
