The Thought Snob Podcast with Paula Swope

Paula was joined by six people who read Thought SNOB and were so deeply impacted by her book that they graciously donated their time to discuss their reactions on a book panel. The conversation is focused on Thought SNOB: The Modern Spiritual Playbook For A Better Life, but this unscripted, raw taping was so much more. There are laughter, tears, stories, and epiphany moments.

You’ll learn about each panel member at the end of the episode. They would love to hear from you if any of their services sound appealing!

Many people shatter when life doesn't go as planned. Life will never always go as planned, and you must stay emotionally resilient when circumstances aren't in your favor.

Most people haven't dealt with half of what this woman has been through, and she didn't shatter. Becky is a best-selling author and columnist who powered through situations that would have broken many people, which she speaks candidly about in this episode.

A vestibular disorder diagnosis can be a death sentence. Although these disorders aren't fatal, they can make someone miserable enough that suicide seems like the only answer. After having bouts of spontaneous vertigo for years, Etta Sundberg landed in the ER after collapsing at home. A few weeks later, she was diagnosed with vestibular migraine and Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD). Since Etta’s diagnosis, she has never been the same. There was a time when she entertained the option of dying with dignity, which she openly talks about in this podcast episode. However, her life took a significant turn after she was introduced to an unexpected healing modality that worked. Check out Paula's interview with her to find out what that was!
