Natasha and her firm, SilverBell Global, are Specialist Advisor members of FOX, and we are thrilled to have her expertise and thought leadership within our membership community.

In her professional field, where Natasha helps clients manage and overcome serious challenges, such as mental health issues and addiction, spirituality – one's relationship with and belief in a higher power or a divine entity – is a big and important topic.

We start by talking about spirituality in the context of an organized religious institution. Natasha shares her views and experience with institutional spirituality. She highlights the most common rewards and struggles people have when engaging with organized spirituality shares best practices to consider from her years of working with families and individual clients.

Being part of a religious institution that is built and run by other people is not the only way to experience and nurture one's spirituality. Natasha discusses the paths people can pursue to have a spiritual life outside of an organized religion.

One practical tool Natasha emphasizes in the pursuit of spirituality is story telling. She tells us how and why stories are an important pillar of any spiritual experience – especially those shared by multigenerational families.

For nearly everyone, fear is always present in their relationship with a divine entity. Natasha offers her practical suggestions on how to address and overcome the fear in spiritual and religious life – outlining the alternative paths to "fear of God".
