What I Learned When I Stopped Thinking I Knew Best

About this episode

In this episode, Russell Davis shares his personal journey of moving from religious fear to self-compassion and understanding one's innate worth.

What if God is not outside of you, but within you? (Whatever 'God' is for you.) In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey from religious fear and judgment to experiencing self-compassion, alignment and connection to what I call the intelligence behind life. We explore ego, perfectionism, prayer, and the difference between striving to be good enough and knowing you already are. Whether you are spiritual, sceptical or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to rethink your relationship with God, purpose and your own innate worth.
