When the plot of life breaks, the real story begins. We open Season Three of Language of the Soul Podcast by returning to the book that inspired it, using  Chapter One: STORY and TRANSFORMATION to map the path from crisis to opportunity, from strife to paradigm shift. Conflict resolution is the means by which we transform, individually and collectively. Through the ripple effect, personal transformation always equals cultural evolution. Alongside guest Andrea Slominski, PhD—storyteller, mythologist, and midlife coach—we connect narrative therapy, archetypes and the collective unconscious with the chemical basis of storytelling to show why stories are more than entertainment. They’re the means by which we transform.

Andrea M. Slominski, Ph.D., is a women’s therapeutic midlife and menopause coach, speaker, and author. She went back to school at fifty-five and earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in women’s psychology and mythology, focusing on the triple transformation women must navigate in midlife. Her coaching method is based on archetypal and depth psychology. In her Ph.D. research, Andrea identified the new life stage for women over the past 120 years, including perimenopause, midlife, menopause, and post-menopause. She names this new life stage from ages 45-70+ “Regency” and identifies it as women’s new power years.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.

This podcast is a labor of love. You can help us spread the word about the power of story to transform. Your donation, however big or small, will help us build our platform and thereby get the word out. Together, we can change the world…one heart at a time!
