In this episode of The Self Within, we’re diving into a word that many of us tiptoe around...God.Is it God with a big G tied to organized religion?Is it god as in “something greater than me”?Or do you prefer words like Universe, Source, Spirit, Mother Earth, the stars?This episode features two guests from different walks of life: Nele Zeeh – former founder of World of Cacao, who spent years in new age and spiritual circles before an unexpected experience changed everything for her. Deacon Court Shields – a Catholic deacon from St. Teresa’s Parish in Harvard, MA, who has devoted his life to serving others through faith and community.Together, we explore:The idea of “Big G” vs “little g” and how language shapes our relationship with the divineWhy so many modern spiritual seekers say Universe or Source instead of GodNele’s story of moving from endless seeking and “new age” practices into a grounded, personal relationship with GodHow community, belonging, doubt, and courage all play into whether we feel safe using the word GodWhat it might look like to simply be curious—without pressure to believe a certain wayThis conversation is not a debate, but an invitation to:Notice how the word God lands in your bodyReflect on your own story with spirituality, religion, or bothConsider the role of hope, faith, and community in your life right nowExplore what you truly believe—beyond labels and expectationsListen now and reflect with us on your own terms.About AnabelVisit ⁠⁠www.nunatherapy.com⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/nunatherapy/https://www.facebook.com/nunatx/NOTE: The information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered medical or professional advice.
