Life School: How Can Racism Stop You From Doing Your Soul's Calling? (Ch. 9, Women Who Run With the Wolves)
Episode description
This is our “Life School” episode where we take a theme from the chapter we are studying from our current book club selection, Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and we share a story, tool, or practice for how to work with that theme in your life. This month we are studying chapter 9 "Homing: Returning to oneself”.
In today's episode Emma Veritas interviews Bev Barnes about how racism can stop you from doing your soul's calling. Bev is a Master Life Coach, Coach Mentor and Coach Instructor. She’s the creator of The Soul’s Calling Roadmap Process & Tools, and The Soul’s Calling Coach & Facilitator Training. In this episode you will hear:

- Bev talks about her experiences of racism as a black woman born in England and raised in Canada, and how racism stopped her from doing her Soul’s Calling, at first.
- Bev tells us how she dared to decide to pursue her purpose and do the work that answered the call of her soul.
