Walking a Spiritual Path

What if one of the biggest things you can do on your spiritual path is to learn to love yourself? It may not seem like a big deal, but we can't truly love others until we love ourself. Is it selfish or selfless to take time for yourself? Is recharging your emotional and spiritual battery each day selfish? We discuss this an so much more in this episode, since believe it or not, self love and l...

Do you ever want to convince others you are right? Do you feel the need to justify your actions to others? If you are like most people, the answer is YES.

In this episode we share how turtles, foxes, and wind chimes led to a discussion about observing the world around us.

One of our first episodes we discussed what spirituality meant to each of us. After two years of doing the podcast and walking the path, we updated our discussion to what it means to each of us now.

Along the spiritual path one often starts to question one's vocation. Why am I a lawyer, accountant, doctor, etc...? Should I give up everything and move to an ashram in Tibet?

These are questions Brad and Jason...
