Ever feel like your life is one big, epic story? Well, spoiler alert: it totally is!
In this episode, I’m diving into the concept of the hero's journey, a storytelling framework by Joseph Campbell. But trust me, it’s not just for your favorite movies—it’s a powerful way to understand your own life transformations.
From the "call to adventure" to overcoming trials and challenges, the hero's journey is a guide to embracing challenges and living authentically. I’m also sharing some deeply personal moments—like how my path to sobriety mirrored the hero's journey cycle—and how you can use it to transform your life.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll uncover in this episode:
- What is the hero's journey, and what are some of the hero's journey examples real life?
- The hero's journey examples in movies - you’ll never watch Moana, Harry Potter, or Star Wars the same way again!
- How to overcome resistance to change using the hero's journey cycle. Why is it so hard to take that leap? We’ll unpack the role of fear and doubt and how they play into embracing challenges.
- My path to sobriety through the lens of the hero's journey. The messy middle, the trials, and the transformative rewards—it’s all here.
- Embracing challenges as the catalyst for growth: learn how facing life’s curveballs head-on and understanding the hero's journey cycle can lead to incredible transformation.
So, where are you in your the hero's journey cycle right now? Are you stuck refusing the call, grappling with embracing challenges, or standing victorious on the other side? Wherever you are, I’m cheering you on.
