In this thought-provoking episode of Soul Thursdays, host Calvin Baldwin sits down with actor and intuitive soul Yvette Fannell to unpack the unexpected wisdom we can find in chess, coincidence, and simply showing up.
Yvette shares stories of stepping into roles without certainty, reading the signs life gives us, and reframing failure as a sacred teacher.
