Ep #18: A Call to Retrieve Your Soulskin & Return to Yourself

Hey there, beautiful souls!

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into a journey that speaks to the very essence of who we are. Inspired by Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ powerful book, “Women Who Run with the Wolves,” we explore Chapter 9, “Homing: Returning to Oneself,” and the profound story of the seal woman who loses her true essence and embarks on a journey to reclaim it.

Picture this: I’m at my littlest one’s end-of-year school awards, surrounded by parents with plastered smiles, feeling an intense wave of sadness and frustration. It’s like we’re all just pretending, living these robotic lives. I left feeling that this simply isn’t enough – for me, and for many of you who connect with my work.

We’ll unpack how we lose touch with our soul skins – through relationships, societal pressures, and everyday demands that drain us. I’ll share a personal story about a client navigating her own path of reclaiming her true self amidst severe trauma and patriarchal pressures. Her journey, like mine, and perhaps like yours, is about breaking free from generational chains and creating a life that truly nourishes our souls.

I also share an inspiring story from a recent intensive with an amazing woman who discovered her own “homing device,” that inner call guiding her back to herself. You’ll hear about my personal journey too – from feeling completely spent and empty to recognizing the pain as a gift leading me back to my soul.

We’ll touch on how important it is to follow those persistent feelings and signs, even when we don’t know the entire path ahead. Sometimes, it’s just about taking the next little step, like trying a pottery class or meeting someone for coffee.

Stay tuned for an exciting announcement about an upcoming episode on affairs and how they can impact our journey back to our true selves.

As we continue reading from the book, we’ll discuss the significance of knowing when it’s time to return home, both metaphorically and literally. Whether it’s about realizing that we’ve overstayed in certain roles or understanding the broader implications of our actions on those around us, the call to return is something we must heed.

Lastly, we’ll explore the empowering idea that no matter how lost we may feel, we all have the ability to return to our natural cycles and rhythms. It’s a journey for everyone, not just a select few.

So, if you’re feeling like life is just not enough, if you’re yearning for a deeper connection to your true self, this episode is for you. Let’s rally together, embrace our wild, untamed spirits, and reclaim our soul skins. You’re not alone, you’re not crazy, and there is a more fulfilling way to live.

Grab a cozy spot, maybe a cup of tea, and join me for this heartfelt and empowering journey. Trust yourself and where your soul is calling you back to.

With all my love and fierce support,
Britta
