How do you define “growing up”?

Does it mean achieving certain cultural benchmarks—a steady income, paying taxes, marriage, and children?

Or does it mean leaving behind the expectations of others and growing into the person you were meant to be?

When we find ourselves in a career,

place,

relationship,

or crisis we never foresaw,

or that seems at odds with our beliefs about who we are,

it often means our soul is calling on us to reexamine our path.

Today, with Jungian Psychoanalyst, therapist, and bestselling author James Hollis

We’ll explore the practice of listening to that call.

The call that invites us to step into a more purposeful life.

As we navigate what James calls the collision between our “False Self,”

created from the expectations of others,

and our instinctive “True Self.”

During our conversation James draw upon his life’s work, his 20+ books,

and his experiences with hundreds of clients,

as he offers up:

A map for traversing the frontier we call our inner life,

The steps (as he sees them) that we must take on our road to true maturity, meaning, and fulfillment,

And how we ultimately can find the courage to step into the depth, dignity, and dangers of this journey.
