E17 - The Heroine’s Journey: Reflecting Women’s Stories

In this second part of sacred storytelling, we discuss the shift in paradigms and a new way to structure and tell our stories as women. We don’t have to stick to the hero’s journey, which doesn’t reflect our journey as women. In this episode, I’ll share with you the heroine’s journey story structure and how we can use it in writing or telling our stories, and in our life.

The heroine’s journey is a reflection of how women perceive life and our lived experience. You’ll find this structure in many stories written by women for women. These are often discounted by men—like all women’s work. We’ll also explore why the heroine’s journey is better for us to use than the hero’s journey in our healing and spiritual awakening.
