Religion, faith, and spirituality are all deeply personal and intertwined parts of humanity. Because of this, discussions of religion often take place only within the religious group one identifies with.
But what happens if we expand our social circles and strive to build deep relationships with individuals across all religions and faiths?
This episode’s host, Ted, sits down with Sheida from Brisbane, Australia to talk about her personal journey with faith and multipotentiality. She discusses making career choices while balancing the expectations of others, and how she came to find and embrace the Bahá’í faith.
They also discuss striving to live in the moment and enjoy the journey. Sheida makes a point to question what she’s doing at any moment and how her actions could benefit someone else. It’s an important question for us all. Is this just for me? Or is it a gift that can help others?
“[The Puttyverse] gives a voice to help everyone see themselves differently and [know that] they can live in a way that is more aligned with who they are.” – Sheida
