    During a period of darkness, Jessica Goldberg turned to writing about her spiritual disconnection. Incorporating her fascination with extremist religion and its absence in mainstream entertainment, Jessica‘s final product became Hulu's The Path. Starring Aaron Paul as Eddie Lane, alongside his wife Sarah, played by Michelle Monaghan, they engage in "Meyerism" to make sense of their existences. Today, Goldberg discusses how both characters reflect the yin and yang of her own personality.
