What makes the Road of Trials such a defining step in the Hero's Journey? In this episode, we unpack this essential phase with Andrew and Eva, diving into what it means to face challenges, prepare for the unknown, and embrace the struggles that shape us. From epic fantasy showdowns to everyday struggles (and even a crocheted Kirby), we explore how trials aren’t just obstacles—they’re opportunities for growth. Stick around for actionable challenges to help you navigate your own Road of Trials like the hero you are.
