In this episode, I bring back JD Edwin, a writer of fiction both long and short, including numerous short stories and articles on the art and craft of writing. Our first chat was a year ago, just after JD had published her debut fantasy novel, Headspace. If you’d like to take a listen to our chat, you can find it in Season 1, Episode 2 from February of 2022, the episode is titled: Finding Your Personal Story in Bigger Stories.  
If you like the film Divergent or the Netflix series Alice in Borderland, you’ll love  Headspace. And now, JD’s prequel is here, Master of the Arena, which you can sum up like this: Nasmi Kol was born a slave. Now, she’s a champion. 
After this chat you’ll want to get the backstory at some point. On the other hand, both books stand on their own.

I’ll be sharing the video version of today’s chat on my YouTube channel.

If you want to learn more about Jungian film theory, Listen to me read Chapter 23 from my book, Your Soul is Talking. Are You Listening? 
 So, let’s get started . . .

In this episode, I read one of my blog posts about a film experience. I never know when it will happen, when something on the screen will reach into my unconscious and pull out a new insight. It’s so much fun when that happens, and I really do need to write about these experiences more.

Get my take on the film Bullet Train, learn how I found meaning in my own film experience, and learn a little bit about Jungian film theory too.

Enjoy!

In this episode, I bring back Dr. Stacey Shelby, author of Love and Soul-Making: Searching the Depths of Romantic Love; and Tracking the Wild Woman Archetype: A Guide to Becoming a Whole, In-divisible Woman. 
 If you’d like to listen to our first chat, it’s Season 1, Episode 6, from March of 2022. It’s titled, Relationships as Vessels of Transformation. The link is in the description box, along with links to Stacey’s books.

I love this from the Foreword:

“Romance is first and foremost about the individual’s calling to love soul, their own soul, and the soul of the world, and reciprocally to find soul in, to make soul from, and to serve soul through love’s many expressions.”  –Dr. Dylan Hoffman

In this episode, I read a blog post that brings to life the usefulness of exploring dreams in gaining a new insight that could strengthen a relationship. In fact, without the new insight, you might instead undermine the relationship.  
Often, I am inspired on my walks as I process the juicy depth psychology coaching sessions I have with my clients. 
Everything about how this post came about illuminates how the unconscious seeks to create through us, for our benefit, and ultimately for the benefits of others.

As C.G. Jung suggested, the fate of humanity depends upon the self-reflecting individual, and this is a concrete example of how this works.

So, let’s get started.

In this episode, I have a chat with Bill Zaferos, author of Poison Pen, a novel. Bill is an award-winning journalist and his first novel, the one we’re going to talk about today, was what emerged through channeling his mental illness into creativity.  I’ll also be sharing the video version of this chat on my YouTube channel. 
 So, I love this endorsement of Bill’s book: “Poison Pen will appeal to fans of the odd and absurd. Each sentence is loaded with humor, heart, and meaning.” 

The unconscious seeks to create, and sometimes we’re a willing partner and often we’re not. Sometimes, our unconscious screams to us through anxiety, illness, an odd combination of annoying events, and it can even take us over. 
Today’s episode brings to life the intersection of mental health and creativity. To truly bring form to what wants to flow through us is to surrender to a higher power.

If you’re open, you’ll see yourself in Bill’s story, even if it’s a part of you that’s been banished to a dark corner in your unconscious. I did. That part of you might need to come out and play, or you can at least have a dialogue with it, so it doesn’t torture you. It’s going to find a way out anyway eventually, and it might not be pretty.

So, let’s get started . . .
