Listen to the Inaugural Finding Joe- The Hero’s Journey Podcast with your host, Jeff Thomlinson.  Jeff explains a bit about the journey, and gives a couple of brief examples.

In our 21st Century World we all strive to embody our ‘best selves’.  It takes courage, conviction and some discipline to create those changes.  Fortunately, one of the most powerful tools for transformation available to all of us is inspiration.  It has been said, “If I can speak from my mind, I can change your mind, and if I can speak from my heart, I can change your heart, but if I speak from my life, my story, I can change your life”.  This is the essence of this new podcast ‘Finding Joe, The Hero’s Journey’.  You will hear from individuals, many not unlike yourself.  You will understand the classic Hero’s Journey, a phrase coined by the esteemed scholar Joseph Campbell.  It describes the process, the journey, the story we all share in small or large ways.  There is a beginning  to the journey- you are going along in life and there is a change, a fork in the road.  Then you come up to a challenge/battle/block which you uniquely move through and beyond.  Finally, you return, you come back into life, but wiser, and uniquely transformed by the journey itself.

After you are complete with the Podcast, Click on the BONUS Track and Practice Being BRAVE For Your Own Hero’s Journey!

As a bonus recording we offer our B.R.A.V.E. methodology to support the listener of the Finding Joe podcasts.  Think of it as a way to integrate the themes of the podcasts.  The Personalized Mindfulness in these bonus recordings defines the B.R.A.V.E. (Breathe, Relax, Allow, Visualize, Empower) practices we have used for over 10 years in Take a Breath for Schools and Communities.  After each podcast you will find a link to an audio recording (guided meditation) which walks you through a similar experience/challenge related to the podcast.  It gives you an opportunity to have your own powerful (healing, balancing, transformational!) experience while resting.  It creates an easily accessible tool for you to utilize personalized mindfulness- practices uniquely related to your own challenges and journey.  To learn more about personalized mindfulness, and to develop the tools of B.R.A.V.E. visit Take a Breath  and experience the steps we offer for support.
