Nature, Nurture, Unanswered Ancestral Questions

About this episode

The episode explores the idea of inheriting existential and spiritual questions from our ancestors.

What if we inherit not only biological material but existential and spiritual questions from our ancestors? What's ours to carry that's been handed to us? I've been wrestling with these questions for a while now, and some big changes in my life have brought them into new focus. I hope you hear and hint or guess for your own spiritual life. Enjoy!
