In this episode, host Janice Ho introduces herself and The Soul's Work Podcast. Sharing her personal story of struggle, Janice explains how she eventually started down "the spiritual rabbit hole" after her moment of spiritual awakening. She discusses the importance of unveiling the "work of art" that is the essence of who we are, so that we can reconnect with our authentic selves.
