302 - In this solo episode, Evan McDermod explores The Mythic Arc of Becoming through the lens of his new poetry collection, Seasons of Becoming. Drawing from archetypal wisdom and the Hero’s Journey, Evan reflects on the spiritual truths that guide us through cycles of change, surrender, renewal, union, shadow, and transcendence.
Rather than focusing solely on personal story, this episode speaks to the universal path of transformation we all walk — the trials that test us, the darkness that refines us, and the eternal becoming that calls us into wholeness. Through the rhythm of poetry and spiritual dialogue, listeners are invited to see their own lives as part of this mythic unfolding.
✨ In this episode, you’ll discover:
-How each season of life reflects a stage of the Hero’s Journey
-The archetypal forces that shape awakening, death, and rebirth
-The deeper meaning behind the “dark night of the soul” and its role in transformation
-Why union, community, and restoration are essential to the journey
-How transcendence is not an ending, but an eternal cycle of becoming
This conversation is an invitation to remember: your life is mythic, your struggles are initiations, and your becoming is part of a greater story.
