  • All About Non-Traditional Spirituality - with Lauren Smith

    COVID-19 has a lot of people looking for answers in a lot of places.  Some look to medical experts.  Some try to sort it out on their own.  But many others are engaging with spirituality.  Some seek answers in their religious traditions and others look in some non-traditional practices.  That's the area that my guest today has quite a bit of expertise.  Lauren Smith is a "renaissance" woman of sorts.  She's a marketing expert, coach, and also hosts the very popular Master your Mind, Business, and Life Podcast.  I ask Lauren to explain the terms in ways anyone can understand and she does just that.  You will leave with the information you need as you explore spirituality in this new world we all now live in.
