Spirituality Meets Mental Health

What is spirituality, really—and does it matter for our wellbeing?In this beautifully rambling, reflective chat, Angela and Juliet dig into the often-muddled, sometimes-woo, and deeply personal territory of spirituality. From grounding barefoot in the garden to dodging midges on dog walks, they explore what it actually means to be spiritual—and why the term gets both overused and misunderstood. Is yoga still spiritual if you hate it? Is breathwork biology or soul work? And why does someone in floaty linen get to claim more spiritual brownie points than the rest of us?They share experiences from working with clients who value spiritual connection, wrestle with definitions (and spiritual snobbery), and touch on the shadow side—like spiritual bypassing, cult-like control, and the dangers of misusing spiritual language to dodge real emotional work.They also reflect on how natural healing practices—like walking in nature, breathwork, meditation, and community support—can profoundly impact mental health, with or without a spiritual label.Whether you're a card-carrying mystic, a reluctant cynic, or somewhere in between, this episode offers a grounded, open-hearted conversation about spirituality in modern life. No robes required.
