The episode explores the spiritual logic outlined in the Big Book, and how fear and ego might keep us stuck.

Tom's candid reflections make for an engaging listen, prompting you to question your own beliefs and how they might be holding you back. So, why not take a moment to explore this spiritual journey and see where it leads you?
