The Problem With Church & Religion: Julia Metts

In the second episode of Purpose Driven Law, host Amy Barrie talks with guest Julia Metts. Metts is best described as a lifelong student and teacher of humans, love, grace, humility, integrity, and life.  She’s fierce and kind; relentless and forgiving; and wears her heart on her sleeve, regardless of aesthetics.  In her life, she has put a great distance between herself and her trauma. Despite the distance, she hasn’t moved an inch from the love that roots deeply in her soul.  It is her mission to reduce suffering in this world by teaching others the power of self acceptance, love and curiosity.  
In her professional life, Metts is a fierce advocate for empowering the marginalized among us, professor of all things advocacy, and a sometimes recovering trial lawyer.  

Over the course of the episode, the following was discussed:

• Education and knowledge towards the LGBTQ+ Community
• Figuring out underlying fears to reach common ground
• Not fitting into the box of the current social construct
• The moment of realization there is something bigger than us
• How to connect with the people at church instead of the entity
• What does living on purpose look like?
• Living up to your core values
• Advice for someone trying to figure out their purpose and calling
• The League Law, uniting all women in the legal industry
