    16 - Exploring Spirituality w/ Tyra West

    Race to the Finish is back with Tyra West, host of the High Notes Podcast! Tyra and I went to college together and keep up with each other from time to time. Something we have in common is a curiosity of spirituality that is very close to our hearts. In Exploring Spirituality we discuss what that term means to us, how we have changed through our years in college, and our experiences growing up in organized religion. Our views are no one else's but our own. As a preface all opinions shared in this episode are done with respectful intentions in mind. -- Follow Tyra on Social Media!  Twitter & Instagram: @tyrawest__ High Notes Podcast Instagram: @thehighnotespodcast  -- Send me your thoughts.
