[link removed] [[link removed]] Listen to United Bodies—a new podcast about the lived experience of health, from Ms. Studios, on Apple Podcasts [[link removed]] + Spotify [[link removed]] .
For many of us, spiritual health is a facet of our health that we consider less, perhaps even give less weight to or spend less time cultivating. Editor, journalist and Harvard Divinity School graduate Philip Picardi joins to discuss how acknowledging and engaging in our individual spirituality, however you label that, or in whatever way that may look, can ground us, give us purpose, and guide us, even if it doesn’t come easy.
We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
