The Hero’s Journey Series began as a passing interest and then became the driving force behind this podcast and its subsequent YouTube channel. As much as it’s meant to be teaching and encouragement for Listeners like you, it’s also a bit of a diary of my own personal and professional growth.
The Death of Innocence – The Heroine’s Journey: Step 2
As excited as I am to develop and explore this Heroine’s Journey model, I think I’ve been subconsciously avoiding producing this second step of the Journey.
