Holding It Lightly

Welcome to \"Holding It Lightly,\" where we share our transformative journey through life’s darkest depths to the light.

So holding it lightly podcast. Two comedians and spiritual seekers (don’t be alarmed, this is not a christian podcast) in New York decided that they were going to have a podcast. This podcast is an exploration of spirituality, letting things go, connecting to truth in a way that explores the downside of religion and the beauty that we might have missed in it.

Come hang out and join the conversation

What if ambition doesn't mean climbing the ladder, but carving your own path entirely?
In this episode of Holding It Lightly, Lauren Douglass and Brad Stuart unpack what it means to be ambitious, but through a different lens: less about chasing status, power, or money, and more about living with intention, curiosity, and heart.

If you’ve ever wondered what ambition could look like on your own terms or you just want to laugh along, this one’s for you.
