A podcast about pursuing meaningful spirituality after faith deconstruction.

In this episode, we talk about "Self-help" practices and pursuits, and how they play into the spiritual journey: the pitfalls to be aware of, the benefits, and the paradox of building up an ego that isn't really who you are. Karen describes her struggle with anger and her frustration that neither the Holy Spirit nor the "self-help" techniques were helping...and how 85%+ of her anger dissolved after she let go of her religious beliefs and dropped her judgments. In contrast, Dave discusses the lessons he's learning from self-improvement books that are making a tangible difference in his life. Karen also shares an approach to personality tests and concepts that helps her coach women into "unknowing" themselves, and Dave gets insightful about how we all need to ask WHO are we trying to improve? and WHY do we think we need to change?
