Self-Actualizing Through Archetypal Journeys

Today Michelle is on the mic speaking about the five archetypal journeys of the seeker, the influencer, the detective, the alchemist, the advocate, and the visionary. By understanding the initiations, dark nights of the soul, and milestones of these archetypes, we can use their journeys as roadmaps for overcoming challenges and to glimpse into the future and find peace in our spiraling paths to creating our sacred work.

“Often people with ADHD or squiggly brains need perfect internal and external environments in order to feel functional… We need to create these almost perfect internal and external environments in order to get anything done because we are so easily distracted.”
“Milestones are just checkpoints in a character’s life or in that archetype’s life.”
“Just remember, overwhelm is what happens when we move beyond the feeling of challenge and excitement. When we are challenged and excited, we are in the flow state. When we step just past that, like a smidgen past that line, we get easily into overwhelm, because we don’t feel well-resourced enough to take on that challenge.”
“We can begin to clock archetypal journeys in our own backyard, and that makes a really big difference if you’re feeling stuck because you can see into the future.”
“If you’re feeling stuck, now’s the time to either notice the archetype journey that you are on, and map it out being a map for yourself, or identify the archetypal journey that you want to follow that you’ve seen in the world.”
“Initiations can also look like a dark night of the soul, so they can look like challenges. Initiations or challenges, think of it like a boss level in a video game, where you’re running up against something that is challenging, and in order to move forward, you have to overcome it.”
“Archetypes are just the universal language of all humanity.”
