Every week, comedians and spiritual seekers Brad and Lauren explore what it means to let go of what no longer serves us—and to laugh along the way. Drawing from personal stories and transformative low points, each episode invites listeners into a candid, often hilarious conversation about healing, growth, and the radical freedom of discovering your own ‘Enoughness.’ Blending humor with deep spiritual insight, Holding It Lightly offers a fresh, unfiltered take on the inner journey, and toward something much more personal: joy, connection, and a lighter way of being.

Along the way, they dive into Enneagram insights, spiral dynamics, and the sobering realities of inequality in America.
Lauren Douglass (aka Lauren the Seeker) and Brad Stuart dive into one of the most common phrases in Christianity “Jesus died for your sins” and ask: wait, what does that really mean?

What if ambition doesn't mean climbing the ladder, but carving your own path entirely?
