How I Found Spirituality After Losing It All


Listen Later

Five years ago, I entered a dark night of the soul.


I was facing divorce, infidelity, and a near-bankrupt business - all while pregnant with twins.


Life felt like it was crumbling around me. It was at this point that I thought to myself, “This can’t all be happening without reason.”


That thought kickstarted a deep awakening inside me, and I began exploring something I had not yet focused on in my life: Spirituality and Religion.

On today’s episode, I share this spiritual journey with Albert, including what I’ve learned so far and what I am still discovering. 


We discuss:

  • The influence of psychedelics on my spiritual awakening
  • What books and resources I’ve found valuable
  • How this connection with something bigger has led to a newfound sense of self and confidence in the universe
  • Why I still don’t prescribe to one “religion”

  • This is the perfect conversation for those who are interested in peeling back the fabric of reality and entertaining what might be underneath.


    I’d love to hear from you! What have you experimented with, what books and writings do you lean on, and what are your stories of spiritual awakening? Drop them in the comments below!
