🌟 Quotes:

"If you leave your body, you’re going to die—because the mind-body connection is what keeps you here." — Monique

"I consider myself a spiritual explorer. I love playing with these ideas—what if there’s more to our existence than what we see and feel?" — Colin

"Robert Monroe could feel his body while astral travelling—so was he really ‘out’ of it? Maybe what we call ‘out-of-body’ is actually just out of our minds, in the best possible way." — Monique

Monique Lindner and her co-host Colin guide Everyday Spirituality from a place of hard-won perspective. While acknowledging their own privileged backgrounds, they don't shy away from the gritty realities of modern life-the chaos, the systemic pressures, and the personal struggles that can make traditional spiritual practices feel distant. This podcast digs into what it means to cultivate a spiritual life not in retreat from the world, but right in the middle of it. Each conversation is grounded in their own journeys through what they call spiritual dark nights, those periods of profound doubt and hardship that reshaped their understanding. You’ll hear them explore how concepts of resilience, justice, and inner peace translate into daily actions and reactions. It’s less about prescribed rituals and more about finding threads of meaning and connection in ordinary moments and difficult conversations. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a candid, necessary dialogue where spirituality is examined as a practical, sometimes messy, force for navigating inequality, personal challenges, and the quest for a more grounded life.
