resources
Over the years, I have read many books, listened to many podcasts, and been inspired and challenged in ways that both frightened and delighted me. Here are just some of the ones that have stayed with me and continue to help me along my journey. Not all are about spiritual enlightenment; many are about navigating relationships and life in different ways. Some are insights into the soul and some into everyday life. Many of these recommendations can be found in books, as podcasts, on the radio, and YouTube. However, I have found that reading the book is the best way to find the golden nuggets most valuable to you.
