The Spiritual Shitshow with Suzanne Sole
The Spiritual Shitshow with Suzanne Sole is a 2025 Signal Awards gold winner in Religion & Spirituality and bronze in Comedians Shaping Culture — and also a People’s Choice Podcast Awards finalist in Religion & Spirituality.
Hosted by actor, comedian, and spiritual seeker Suzanne Sole, this show dives into the absolute mess of healing and awakening with equal parts depth and LOLs.
Suzanne has been walking the spiritual path for over 25 years. She’s kicked addiction, escaped abuse, and keeps it growing — spiritually, emotionally, and in and her collection of voice memos. She brings all of that wisdom (and a lot of one-liners) into every episode.
Expect solo riffs full of insight and irreverence, plus special guest episodes with therapists, ministers, artists, and other humans who have also survived the shitshow and lived to tell the tale.
We’re talking the spiritual journey. We’re talking sobriety and recovery. We’re talking spiritual teachings, off-the-wall hilarity, and deeply vulnerable moments you can actually relate to — so you can laugh, nod, cry a little if you need to, and know you are not alone in your journey.
