Seeking Spirit and Personal Identity: The Interconnectedness between Spirituality, Writing, and a Fulfilling Life with Linda Trinh

In this episode, I have the great pleasure of speaking with Linda Trinh, Vietnamese Canadian author of “Seeking Spirit: A Vietnamese (Non) Buddhist Memoir” on the role and influence of spirituality in her personal life. Linda discusses some of the difficulties and challenges of forging her own identity while juggling her Vietnamese culture with its rituals and traditions and the Canadian culture of her upbringing in addition to her global travels and her own unique beliefs, thoughts, and impressions.  When faced with trauma, Linda finds both recourse and solace in her spiritual beliefs and the belief in an afterlife. We also talk about how it is important to accept life and suffering and that many of us experience a lack in our lives that could be filled with beliefs in the spirit and the continuous practice of spirituality.
