How I Found Spirituality After Losing It All
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.  This episode is sponsored by Shopify.
