Feeling stuck in your creativity or in life? You’re not alone. In this powerful episode, host Jodi Rose Gonzales reframes creative block and emotional discomfort as sacred invitations: the very beginning of your own Hero’s Journey.
Drawing from Joseph Campbell’s timeless mythic structure, this episode guides you through the stages of transformation through the lens of creativity, mindfulness, and personal growth. You’ll meet Angela, a school administrator who traded burnout for brushes, and anxiety for alignment—all without quitting her day job. Her journey mirrors what so many of us experience: a quiet longing to feel more fully alive.
You’ll also learn how art-based mindfulness, emotional signals, and your body’s wisdom can guide you toward the life that you’re truly meant to live. Whether you're navigating a transition, craving reconnection to your creativity, or simply curious about what’s next, this episode offers insight, support, and a soulful map forward.
Key Takeaways:
- Your body often signals your call through physical symptoms, emotional disruption, or recurring dreams
- Ignoring your creative calling doesn't make it disappear—it often amplifies into crisis
- The journey reveals gifts you didn't know you had
Ready to reclaim your creative spark and step into your story? Let this episode be your guide.
