The truth is like a lion. You don't have to defend it. Let it loose. It will defend itself. - Saint Augustine - Vēritās līberābit vōs.  The Smart & Spiritual™ Podcast - with Nicole Berryhill - Where smart and spiritual come together to reveal truly good news.™ Episode 10 - Love After Life, Part 1 Today's episode marks a bit of a change in format for the show that I feel really good about. I hope you enjoy it & it serves you well. I'm beginning with a series covering something I've been wrestling with for over 30 years. Maybe not "wrestling", maybe more "digesting" or "processing".  To be honest, I've been struggling with how to convey this information in a way that communicates the many layers of meaning of love, truth, consolation, rapture, peace, wholeness, welcoming, inclusion (and so very VERY much more). It's taken me over 30 years to mentally and spiritually process what's happened to me, and frankly I am still unpacking those experiences, to this day. I've struggled so much with processing everything in a communicable way, and have found our language woefully lacking.  I realize what I am about to share will cost me a hefty amount of professional credibility in certain circles. And that's ok. I am at peace with my decision. I am, at this point, no longer serving any institution. I have been a minister for nearly a quarter of a century now, having served other ministers all over the globe. From this point forward, it's just me sharing my experience of the Divine, with you. My real, tangible, experience. It is what it is, take my words as you will. I pray my story serves your soul with hope and peace... ~ Nicole ------------------ From Nicole: "My latest book "Heal Your Inner Bully" is small but mighty, and I believe it will help so many of us who struggle with our inner bully! I'm so excited to share it with the world. Little else makes me feel more happy and fulfilled than sharing tools that help make an actual difference in people's daily lives, and I know this book will do just that. It's available NOW in all formats worldwide at https://amzn.to/3dWQNbQ I hope you'll check it out. Thanks for your support!" ---------------------------------------- Hey, great to meet you!
