Spirituality vs. Religion ➡️ Can you have one without the other?

Become A Trauma Informed Coach

What is Spirituality? What is Religion? How much overlap is there, and can one exist without the other?

Have you ever felt like spirituality was only available through organized religion? Or that questioning religious dogma meant risking exile, shame, abandonment, or spiritual ruin?

In this episode, Lindsay Poelman shares a heartfelt, trauma-informed snippet from her FREE ReSourced program—a powerful and supportive offering for people who are leaving or have left high-demand religions like Mormonism and are seeking to reconnect with their spirituality in a safe, embodied, and empowered COMMUNITY.

Lindsay unpacks:

• The difference between spirituality and religion—and why unbraiding them is essential for spiritual reclamation.
• How patriarchal systems codified and controlled spirituality throughout history.
• The neuroscience of spiritual connection and how your nervous system plays a crucial role.
• How trauma can disconnect us from our intuition, and why it's not your fault.
• What it looks like to return to spiritual safety through your body.
• Multiple definitions and lenses for spirituality—from Jungian archetypes to earth-based wisdom.

This episode isn’t about convincing anyone to leave religion. It’s about honoring your journey, supporting your sovereignty, and offering a space for you to reclaim your inner knowing—on your own terms.
