Hero's Journey and Jung's Individuation

June 16, 2025 • Debra Berndt Maldonado and Robert Maldonado PhD Life Coach Training and Personal Transformation Experts • Season 8 • Episode 267

Unlock the deeper meaning of your personal growth journey by understanding the timeless connection between myth and psychology. In this kickoff episode of our new series, we're exploring how Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey aligns with Carl Jung’s process of individuation—and why this matters in our fast-paced modern world.

From ancient myths to modern movies, discover how these universal patterns can empower you to reclaim your true self and create a life of purpose. In this episode, we discuss:

The key similarities and differences between the hero’s journey and Jungian individuation
Why shadow work is the crucial first step to authenticity and meaningful change
The role of archetypes like the hero, shadow, anima, and animus in transformation
How embarking on your own inner journey leads to wholeness—not just for you, but for the collective
