How to Ask Better Questions & Find Meaning in Everyday Life

Self-trust doesn’t come from having all the answers—it comes from asking better questions.

In this episode, I sit down with writer and storyteller Kristan Swan for a grounded conversation about spirituality that actually feels real. No fluff, no perfectionism—just honest insights about building trust in uncertainty, finding meaning in everyday moments, and rewriting the stories we tell ourselves.  Kristan opens up about how a chaotic childhood of constant moving shaped her journey from trying to control everything to learning how to trust the process. We talk about daily spiritual practices that don’t require you to be “better,” the power of being a better stranger, and why solution-oriented thinking changes everything.

What we cover:
• How childhood uncertainty can build resilience and self-trust
• Simple daily spiritual practices (hint: it starts before you open your eyes)
• The concept of being a “better stranger” and why small acts matter
• Solution-oriented vs. problem-oriented thinking
• Living a life you could leave tomorrow with contentment
• Why you don’t need to be “better” to start your spiritual journey

If you’re tired of surface-level self-help and want real conversations about spirituality, meaning-making, and living with more intention, this one’s for you.
