What if spirituality was the missing link to a healthier, more resilient life? In this episode, Kelly sits down with Dr. Lisa Miller, PhD—bestselling author, Columbia University professor, and clinical psychologist—to explore the groundbreaking science behind Spiritual Health.

Through a mix of cutting-edge research and practical advice, Dr. Lisa reveals how to build your spiritual core, nurture a deeper sense of meaning, and create a foundation for connection in ourselves and our children. It’s not about if spirituality makes a difference, but how you can integrate it into your life.

Kelly and Chip discuss the new reality of texting being the most used format for communication in our culture in 2024. They debate on certain texting etiquette, response times, lack of response at all and how a lot of the issues still boil down to bad communication skills. 
"It's like our technology has evolved with mass communication, but our emotional intelligence has not."
