  <description><![CDATA[<p><b>The Spiritual Shitshow with Suzanne Sole</b> is a 2025 <b>Signal Awards gold winner</b> in <em>Religion &amp; Spirituality</em> <b>and</b> bronze in <em>Comedians Shaping Culture</em> — and also a <b>People’s Choice Podcast Awards finalist</b> in <em>Religion &amp; Spirituality</em>.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Hosted by actor, comedian, and spiritual seeker <b>Suzanne Sole</b>, this show dives into the absolute mess of healing and awakening with equal parts depth and LOLs.</p><p><br></p><p>Suzanne has been walking the spiritual path for over 25 years. She’s kicked addiction, escaped abuse, and keeps it growing — spiritually, emotionally, and in and her collection of voice memos. She brings all of that wisdom (and a lot of one-liners) into every episode.</p><p><br></p><p>Expect solo riffs full of insight and irreverence, plus special guest episodes with therapists, ministers, artists, and other humans who have also survived the shitshow and lived to tell the tale.</p><p><br></p><p>We’re talking the spiritual journey. We’re talking sobriety and recovery. We’re talking spiritual teachings, off-the-wall hilarity, and deeply vulnerable moments you can actually relate to — so you can laugh, nod, cry a little if you need to, and know you are <em>not</em> alone in your journey.</p><p><br></p><p>Linktree: <b>linktr.ee/suzannesole</b></p><p><br></p><p>Official Website:&nbsp;<b>suzannesole.com</b></p><p><br></p><p>For more thoughts and feelings subscribe to Suzanne’s Substack: <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/suzannesole">https://open.substack.com/pub/suzannesole</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thank you for listening!</p>]]></description>
