In this episode of What’s the Fucking Point, we dive into the messy, complicated, and sometimes beautiful intersection of spirituality and emotional expression. We’ll explore how different spiritual practices can open the door to actually feeling our feelings—grief, anger, joy, all of it—and how that process can lead us toward hope in the here and now. This isn’t about quick fixes or bypassing pain with good vibes only; it’s about finding real, grounded meaning through spiritual connection, even when life feels like chaos.

Content Note: This episode includes discussion of spirituality, religion, and personal emotional journeys. We also briefly discuss domestic violence. For some, these topics may feel sensitive or triggering, especially if you’ve experienced spiritual or religious harm. Please take care of yourself as you listen and pause if you need to.
