Step into Your Hero’s Story…
Have you felt the urge to change your life but also the resistance to change?
This is completely normal.
In fact, Joseph Campbell’s concept of the Hero’s Journey talks about this rite of passage into living your purpose.
Expect resistance, but don’t allow it to stop you.
The first stage of the journey to your purpose is called the Departure. This is where you leave the ordinary world and answer the call to adventure.
The first stage is filled with resistance. The real shift happens at the end of this stage where you “cross the threshold” and enter the unknown. To gain courage to cross the threshold, you will need what Campbell calls, “Supernatural Aid” – a guide who appears or inner wisdom to direct you.
Crossing the threshold could be:
✓ Starting a new business
✓ Getting back into the dating world
✓ Finally leaving the marriage that is unfulfilling
✓ Quitting your corporate job to pursue a passion.
If you feel you’ve done a lot of self-exploration but not really seeing big changes, you could be stuck in the first phase of the journey.
Find out more in our newest Soul Sessions: A Jungian Podcast episode called, “Step Into Your Hero’s Story: A Call to Adventure with Jung’s Individuation.”
- What it truly means to heed the “call to adventure”
- How to deal with the natural impulse to refuse that call
- Why venturing into the unknown is such a pivotal moment for personal growth.
Drawing from Joseph Campbell’s celebrated framework, we discuss the fears, resistance, and life changes that often spark the journey toward transformation—whether it’s a breakup, a new opportunity, an illness, or the desire for a more meaningful life.
Discover how these external events become invitations to look inward, confront your unconscious, and begin the path toward authentic self-discovery.
