I don't believe in a soul that's separate from the body, or that lives on afterward. But the way that "inanimate" matter can spin up thoughts and feelings and a consistent personal experience that can last for decades... It's almost fair to call that thing a soul. It's fair to talk about nurturing your soul and growing a soul.
To paraphrase Carl Sagan, we are the universe's way of understanding itself.
The universe growing souls like flowers, or something
Hmm, I like this too, very interesting to think over.
