Episode notes
Understanding Quarterlife Stage
- Quarterlife is the stage from roughly 16 to 36 years old, often misunderstood and undervalued in psychology and culture.
- It needs soulful attention and Jungian-informed insights specifically tailored to this age group.
Myth vs Media on Quarterlife
- Media often dramatizes quarter life, making the stage itself invisible and dehumanizing its characters.
- Mythology and folk tales teach young people to trust themselves through life's trials, offering deeper lessons beyond common clichés.
Hero's Journey: Transformation Focus
- The true pursuit in myths is not achievement or heroics but inner transformation through risk, hardship, and magic.
- Joseph Campbell's hero's journey captures this maturation, focusing on consciousness evolution rather than external success.
