Room to Breathe: Faith, Wellness, and the Body - Interview with Lindsey Moser

Today on  "Leading with Heart," I am joined by Lindsey Moser, a chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve, for a deep dive into the essence of spiritual wellness and its profound impact on military life. Lindsey shares her remarkable journey from her upbringing on Whidbey Island Naval Air Station to her aspirations of becoming a licensed sex therapist specializing in postpartum families. With a rich background in education, Reserve service, and international travels, Lindsey brings a unique perspective on the importance of spiritual health.

The episode kicks off with a powerful message on self-acceptance, emphasizing that major world religions and faith practices universally affirm that individuals are inherently enough and loved as they are. This foundational belief is crucial for finding happiness, peace, and true success amidst the high demands of military life.

Lindsey’s Journey: 

Lindsey shares her unique path, which includes aspirations of academia, influenced chaplaincy alongside her husband, and roles as an IMA reservist at Hill Air Force Base. Her story encapsulates education, Reserve service, international travels, and future goals in sex therapy for postpartum families, highlighting the importance of spiritual health.

The Significance of Spiritual Health

Lindsey discusses the significance of spiritual health within the four pillars of wellness, extending beyond traditional religious practices. The conversation explores personal spirituality, the impact of sensory experiences in religious settings, and the interconnectedness of wellness pillars.

This episode offers practical advice on engaging with spirituality through small, consistent actions, inspired by atomic habits. It also addresses the pandemic's impact on worship practices and the importance of community in spiritual wellness.

Remember, spiritual wellness is a journey, not a destination. It's about finding peace and contentment in your own spiritual practices, whatever they may look like for you. Whether you're in the military or navigating the complexities of civilian life, embracing your spiritual wellness can lead to a more fulfilled and balanced life.
