Today’s episode of the Initiations in Love podcast is a follow-up to our previous episode: “How Can I Serve Today - The Call to a Deeper Love with Rob Schware, PhD.” In this episode, Britta explores the themes of purpose, service, and the life-changing power of saying YES through the lens of two events in Rob’s life which called him to continually step deeper into his purpose. And isn’t that what our souls want - to listen to the calls life presents, and to grow into new levels of loving service?

Britta reads a section from her spiritual memoir, Initiations in Love, from the second Initiation stage, The Call. Britta then leads listeners through a journaling exercise for self-discovery, emphasizing that challenges can become gifts on the path to love and growth.

 

If you are curious about the concept of ‘The Call’ and how individuals can respond to life’s challenges as opportunities for deeper connection and purpose, then this week’s episode is for you!
