08 - Heart of a Hero Part 2
Manage episode 499719866 series 3644826
What if the challenges you’re facing right now are actually an invitation to step into the most alive, purposeful version of yourself? In part two of the Heart of the Hero series, Sanna and Scott explore the first stage of the hero’s journey answering the call to adventure and what happens when we ignore it. Through personal stories, Joseph Campbell’s framework, and the interplay between ego and soul, they reveal how following your unique calling can bring both purpose and joy. They share “breadcrumbs” to help you recognize your calling, the dangers of psychological crucifixion when you avoid it, and the magic that happens when ego and soul work together.
What you will learn:
- The three stages of Joseph Campbell’s hero’s journey and how the departure stage sets the tone for transformation.
- Why Campbell believed humans seek to feel fully alive, not just to find meaning, and why Sanna and Scott believe you need both.
- How the ego and the soul function as polar opposites, and why both are essential for living your true greatness.
- Practical ways to get your ego and soul working together to create both drive and deeper wisdom.
- How over relying on one form of intelligence limits growth, and why tapping into multiple intelligences expands possibilities.
- The breadcrumbs that point toward your calling, including compliments, invitations, and activities that put you in flow.
- Why your calling can be hard to see, especially when it’s tied to skills that feel effortless to you.
- How avoiding your call can lead to psychological crucifixion and life events that force you to stop and reassess.
- The story of the princess and the frog as a metaphor for refusing your invitation to growth and magic.
- Why improving by just 1 percent each year can build a powerful connection to your purpose over time.
- Real life examples of how work challenges test whether you respond from ego or soul.
- How to accept your call to adventure, embrace discomfort, and step into a bigger version of yourself.
