What’s the point of chasing mountaintops if your soul feels empty? In this episode, I share the difference between the hero’s journey and the heroine’s journey—and why our outer path will never feel truly aligned without first descending inward to meet ourselves.
This impromptu solo episode flowed in after reading a powerful passage from The Power of Now. I reflect on my own life before and after my spiritual awakening—how I moved from chasing external goals to anchoring into my soul’s inner wisdom. We explore sacred symbolism, the vertical and horizontal axes, and how placing the sacred at the center changes everything about how we work, love, and live.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
the key differences between the hero’s journey (outer) and the heroine’s journey (inner)
why chasing achievements alone can leave you feeling hollow
how my tarot moment in Greece shifted everything in my path
the solar cross as a map for the soul’s inner and outer experiences
a transformative excerpt from Eckhart Tolle on inner and outer purpose
how to use the heroine’s journey as a compass for quantum leaps
May this week's transmission encourage you to trust the sense, follow the signs and remember
—you are never, ever journeying alone.
