Jac O’Keeffe Talks About Spiritual Journeys
No matter where you are on your inner journey, this week’s episode of Woman Worriers is for you. Host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Jac O’Keeffe for an enlightening conversation about spirituality and mental health.
“I think all living beings have some unspoken depth, exquisiteness, oneness…. Something that can be trusted.”
Show Notes:
Each of us follows a unique path to our inner knowing. One woman’s journey took her from an Irish Catholic upbringing to theology school, from atheism to therapy and finally to a deep spirituality that is both transcendent and very relevant to daily life. This week, Woman Worriers podcast host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., welcomes that woman, Jac O’Keeffe, an author and spiritual teacher with a unique style for a conversation about how spirituality can support our mental well-being and inner growth. They talk about authenticity, the difference between religion and spirituality, living a spiritual life and building a toolkit to help us manage our anxiety to move to a place of peace.
