Writer and storyteller Emerson Dameron chooses his own religion! Emerson is also from western North Carolina and grew up Protestant (Episcopalian), and in this episode we talk about navigating the many religious maps out there in walking our own path. We talk about the #MeToo movement in Buddhism, dealing with alcoholism, how the ego functions in addiction, recovery, Unitarian Universalism, life before the internet, storytelling, spiritual materialism, and more.
