In this podcast episode, host Jemma delves into the crucial role of spiritual health in overall well-being, especially during our 20s. She interviews Dr. Lisa Miller, a clinical psychology professor, who sheds light on our innate capacity for spirituality and its link to mental health. They challenge the outdated belief that mental health is purely biological, highlighting how spirituality has a neurobiological foundation that can protect against depression and addiction. Dr. Miller offers practical exercises to enhance spiritual awareness, including a guided meditation and a framework for weaving spirituality into everyday life—focusing on practice, community, path, and purpose. Their discussion emphasizes the significance of grappling with existential questions, fostering a supportive community, and discovering meaning and purpose to help navigate life's challenges.
