Lindsey Lockett is a trauma educator, coach, podcast host and self-proclaimed “awareness junkie and nervous system ninja”. She joined me to continue our two-part conversation about spirituality. (To listen to part 1, head to Episode #79 of the Holistic Trauma Healing Podcast.
I spent a lot of summers in Spain during my childhood. It’s super fun to know that you’re at the same place of many of my good memories.
I enjoyed the long intro of this episode, especially the “leap of faith” and the island image when you decide to explore a new territory and phase of your life. I was already very touched by this image/ metaphor when Doctor Chris used it during one of his own intros.
There’s a HUGE difference between the Montreal of my dreams, back in France, and the Montreal where I live now, since the end of 2017.
Beyond the pain that is always there in our first steps on the new island, the change of perspective that we acquire is priceless. I learned so much about myself in just a few years.
The most striking part of Lindsey’s story is her tremendous ability to do almost a U-turn in her well-established belief system just after one documentary. Maybe doubt was already there, just waiting to be unearthed. Maybe she had a dazzling revelation. Maybe it was a mix of the two. On top of that, she didn’t feel threatened by it, she didn’t keep it just for herself (that’s SO brave), she immediately shared the “revelation” with her husband.
I’m so happy that they’ve just kept exploring that new island together !
It’s a total boost of Hope ! So thank you for this conversation.
This episode made me really look at my tendency to look down on those who are deeply religious. This is the immediate reaction I had to listening to this, and that I do view those who are deeply religious as "weak". Not so much spirituality as a whole, but specifically people that follow a dogmatic form of religion.
It makes me wonder what part of me, and why, do I have this reaction. My mother always says she only believes in God "just in case", maybe her mockery of religion translated to me as religion being embarrassing, therefore giving me a cringing kind of reaction to it? Hmm.
Thank you Anya for giving me something to ponder about myself! I love diving deep into what the fuck is going on inside of me and why.
This was a super interesting and fun podcast. So many things I identified with, from the strict Christian upbringing to virgin marrying and the subsequent search for faith and spirituality. Found myself agreeing with the notion of appropriation as a meat search for belonging in the absence of our own ancestral knowledge. I laughed and nodded a lot throughout this conversation. Also, it might be time for another episode with your dad to talk about the current state of identity “everything”
Hi Anya, Thank you for hosting 2 great podcasts! I'm glad you brought Lindsey back on she's awesome!
