172: Religion and Spirituality Finding Meaning in a Secular World

Hello and welcome to the Body Meets Mind podcast - the podcast within the podcast! Paul, and Tom here, and we are exploring philosophies and strategies for an elevated life. We are so excited to present to you all the hard work that we've been working on behind the scenes. We've been developing great interviews and some really, really excellent podcasts where Tom and also just talk about things that nourish our mind as well as our body and everything in between. We're taking top down approaches and bottom up approaches that relay my experience as a counsellor and Paul's experience as a health and wellness coach for human optimisation performance, purpose, and meaning.
