Description

What is the meaning of life? For those who do not believe in God or religious faiths, the meaning or purpose of one’s life or of life in general can seem unclear, confusing, or simply absent. Philosopher Danielle LaSusa will discuss the various ways that we can create a strong and anchoring sense of meaning that is authentic to a secular worldview.
Danielle LaSusa Ph.D. helps moms grapple with what it means to make a person. She is a Philosophical Coach and co-creator and co-host of Think Hard podcast, which brings philosophy to the real world. She has a PhD in Philosophy and a Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies from Temple University, and a certification in Philosophical Counseling from the American Philosophical Practitioners Association. When her daughter was born, she damn near broke her brain trying to figure out what the hell happened. Now, she helps other moms make sense of motherhood.
This discussion is hosted by Eric Wells, the RfR Support Group Director, and Amaia Perez, the RfR Online Programming Coordinator.

TED Talk “What to do when your worldview falls apart”
The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion (RfR) support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. We are here to help each other through this journey. For RfRx comments, inquiries & topical questions, we can be reached at RfRx@recoveringfromreligion.org.
