Exploring Everyday Spirituality: A Conversation with Susannah Healy

 

In this episode of the Inner Entrepreneur Podcast, host Paul explores the concept of spirituality with guest Susannah Healy, author of 'The Seven Day Soul: A Pathway to Flourishing Spirituality in Everyday Life.'

 

They discuss how repeated practices can wire the brain, akin to how athletes train. Susannah emphasizes the importance of consciously practicing values like gratitude, forgiveness, and patience, in daily life.

 

They reflect on how spirituality is an essential part of well-being and how it can manifest in everyday actions, not just in religious practices. Susannah also recounts her experiences with meditation and spiritual education, advocating for mindfulness as a tool for better mental health and decision making. The conversation delves into how entrepreneurship can be a deeply spiritual act and the need for a balanced, mindful approach to life and business.
