Integrated Wisdom
What if science and spirituality were never separate, just different ways of listening to the same truth? The Integrated Wisdom podcast explores the meeting place of psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality — revealing the deeper architecture of life and what it means for how we heal, grow, and live with purpose today. Hosted by psychologist and spiritual educator Tatiana Da Silva, each episode brings you grounded conversations, reflections, and emerging research that illuminate an evidence-based spirituality that feels credible, inspiring, and alive in everyday life. Whether you’re a therapist, a seeker, or simply curious about the bigger picture, this is your invitation to step into a space where science and spirit speak the same language.
