What drives someone to seek a life with emotional sobriety at its core? This episode of Levelheaded Talk zeroes in on a part of that journey that many people skip over: your energetic and spiritual self. Dr.

Andrea Vitz, joined by co-host Jon Leon Guerrero, continues their series on the four planes of human experience—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—by asking a simple but challenging question: "How's your energy?" She openly admits that she used to "balk" at spirituality, sharing that her own spiritual training only really began around age 40. That honesty makes this conversation especially relatable for anyone who’s wary of spiritual topics or feels like a beginner.

You’ll hear how the spiritual plane fits right alongside the body, brain, and emotions, and why it might be the missing piece if you’re feeling drained, scared, or alone in your recovery. Andrea explains that spirituality is "whatever gets you out of yourself" and that when you focus too much on "What are they thinking of me?" or "I made this mistake," suffering follows.

Instead, she talks about finding "total fearless faith" and a sense of being held by something bigger—whether you call it God, the universe, or anything else. She refuses to argue over beliefs and focuses on one simple test: "If it bears fruit in your life, then it is true for you." Practical tools come into the mix too: ancient teachings, meditation, breath work, and regular spiritual practices that can help rebuild your sense of protection and connection.

Andrea uses a vivid image of a dark room and a door cracked open: "When we crack that door open and a little bit of light comes through, all of a sudden our whole world changes." For anyone working on addiction, habits, or emotional sobriety, this episode offers a gentle nudge to ask: how are you doing spiritually—and what small step could brighten that inner room today?
