The Skeptic's Guide to a Spiritual Life – Details, episodes & analysis

Kristin is an executive coach, facilitator, trainer, a joyful mom to both a human child and a dog child and, most importantly, a friend and colleague of mine.  She’s a self-described spiritual NON skeptic, the yin to my yang.  We discuss how her pipeline to deeper spirituality was through radical self-love and acceptance and how starting to talk to God during her daily dog walks got her through a deep depression in the middle of both the covid pandemic and the tragic daily news cycle playing out in the US.

Malcolm and I discuss the things that are nearly impossible to put into words - what it means to be in a spiritual “flow” (and the impossibility of making that happen) - and what it is like to straddle the spiritual and the religious.

Malcolm is a Success Coach for Men with a holistic approach to development.  He supports men to go deeper in their personal discovery and increase their access to emotions so they can live more freely in their own skin and succeed as partners, fathers, and leaders.  He also works as a partner coach with LUMO to create success for working parents (we work together there - yay!).  In addition to coaching, he has a background in Human Services and mental health, focusing on creating housing opportunities for people who are homeless.  And he has a Bachelor's Degree in Religious Studies.

Today is a solo episode about one of my favorite prayers - The Set Aside Prayer.  Growing the part of my brain that can sit in true curiosity has been LIFE CHANGING and this prayer is one I turn to several times a day when I find myself “knowing” how life goes.  Learning to set aside everything I think I know, for a new experience, as changed every aspect of my life and has made room for miracles to unfold.  Please enjoy!

Dear God, please help me set aside everything I think about ______, about myself and about you, God - so that I may have an open mind and a new experience with these things.  Please let me see the truth.

For you non-God / Higher Power Folks:

I am willing in this moment to set aside everything I think I know about _____, about myself and about how the universe I live in works.  I am willing to have an open mind and a new experience with these things.  I am willing to see the truth.

It was hard for me to name and describe this episode because like Fayzan himself, it’s not easily defined or put into a box–which is the beauty of it. In his own words, he exists at the border of many different worlds, Islam and Christianity, medicine and coaching–to name but a few. A lovely human with so much to share and with nothing but gentle humility while he shares it.

Fayzan Rab PCC is a personal and professional development coach who has 100+ hours of experience working with engineers, designers, and executives to improve their presence, navigate their career, and to have the home run moments that allow them to have the fullest experience of their life and work. Prior to becoming a coach, Fayzan worked at Google as a Product Lead and was the most rapidly promoted person in his organization for his tenure. He was asked by the former director of the National Institute of Mental Health to build out the product team at Mindstrong Health, a Series C $100M biotechnology startup. Fayzan found his way into Accomplishment Coaching's yearlong training program when he felt a draw to work closer to people to help them achieve their personal and professional goals. Fayzan is currently in medical school looking at the intersection between coaching and healthcare. When Fayzan is not coaching, he is going for a bike ride, helping someone register to vote, or reading the most recent Haruki Murakami novel.
