Finding God in a Panic Attack w/ Victoria Hutchins | Soul Boom

When a high-achieving lawyer suddenly drops her corporate life for poetry and yoga, her words manage to reach millions online. The two explore religious deconstruction, what it means to “make believe” in God again, and the soul-saving power of small joys. Victoria reads several of her most powerful poems and shares practical wisdom for those navigating anxiety, burnout, or existential crisis. THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
