The SOUL, WHAT? Podcast is Here!

What if spirituality didn’t feel so... complicated?Welcome to the first ever episode of SOUL, WHAT? An enlightening, vibration-raising, paradigm-shifting spiritual podcast... but make it simple, pleeease!Hi, I'm Amy. Australian-English journalist, Hay House author, and the writer behind the hit podcast The Space (7 million+ downloads). I've spent my career tackling agenda-setting topics, from current affairs and mental illness, to sexuality and society's glorification of suffering. But spirituality? Despite being a viral trend — and a life saver for many people — is the hardest to sum up in one snappy article. Hence, the SOUL, WHAT? podcast was born...There's no doubt, we need a version of faith now more than ever. Research shows, a belief in something bigger than ourselves helps to build resilience, hope and a feeling of belonging, not only for adults but young people. Like many millennials, my version of faith doesn't fit into a neat little box. So, how can we describe it — and make it practical and tangible in real world situations. What does it all really mean when we cut through the fluff and the whoo? How can we live spirituality in an actionable, tangible way?SOUL, WHAT? feels like a voice-note with a mate — but it has the power to raise your vibration and shift your out-dated paradigms. (Whatever that means ... we'll get to that!)In each episode of this limited series, I'll demystify a different spiritual concept, drawing on my own experiences of my multi-faith upbringing, plus experts, healers, scholars, and researchers I've interviewed on my journey. In today’s episode, I share:* Why this podcast is a surprise to me, and the motivation behind it.* From grief to growth: how it feels to evolve (dramatically) in the public eye, and why I’m so grateful to be people who ‘let’ me.* Why a ‘multi-lane’ approach to spirituality works for me, and why it’s time to rethink faith without the labels.* What spirituality looks like in the real world, and how it can boost your hope, resilience and sense of belonging.* Why I’m recording this episode from our flooded hallway (and how to find your own silver lining)* Why it’s important to ask yourself: what feels good for you to believe?* + how to submit your spiritual questions for the pod. Because this is a collaborative project!The plan is to drop an episode every week. Follow my Substack, The LightWriter Letter so you don't miss an episode.
