The Wounded Hero's Journey
This chapter explores the transformative journey from being a wounded individual to embodying the identity of a 'wounded hero,' highlighting the importance of engaging with one's wounds for personal growth and societal contribution.

The discussion encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences of pain, trauma, and heartbreak, advocating for a deeper integration of these emotions as pathways to authenticity and healing.
