We don't know about you, but we love a good quiz that tells us about ourselves - like what Harry Potter character we resemble most, what our favourite side dish tells about us or how designing our dream home illustrates the career best suited for us.

Today's streaming services and tv stations are filled with reality tv - from the Bachelor, to Married at First Sight, to Too Hot to Handle - its cheap, its trashy and we are all to ready to lap it up.

Following on from last week's discussion about mortality, we delve into the spirituality. We discuss our personal experiences and beliefs, karma and looking at spirituality separately from religion.
