Today on the Hero’s Journey series, I’m diving into the “Call to Adventure” with my adventurous co-hosts, Ava and Andrew! We explore how a “call” arrives, often disguised as a curious invitation or an unexpected challenge. Sometimes it’s mysterious—like Harry Potter’s Hogwarts letter—and other times it’s a subtle nudge or a literal siren song, like Elsa’s call in Frozen 2. Together, we ask: Can you choose your own adventure, or does it find you? And, if a call comes, do you always have to answer? Listen in as we debate, reflect, and dare you to wonder what calls are whispering to you!
