It's really interesting in these moments because as I started to do more and more of these podcasts and these conversations, whenever I had a question that I think, what is the answer to that question? I've always thought I have to just ask the most truthful thing in my being, not the thing that I think would be the right thing to say. Yes. You got to be honest.

If I am honest, a conversation and a connection with God is actually the thing that's began to help me in those moments. And I didn't grow up with a Christian family. I didn't grow up going to church. I basically have had no religion in my life, my entire experience of life. And When things weren't going to plan, I found that like prayer was really good.

This is where things get so fascinating because with that new... I would say I started this prayer maybe a year ago. I then, about four or five months ago, began going to church for the first time in my life. I haven't even told anyone this. And on Sundays, I'll go to church and I'll spend like an hour in there. And... my natural kind of inquisitive brain of like the neuroscience side of things.
