The Download Podcast, with Jill Marshall
Exploring patterns, archetypes, and stories that reveal who we are — and who we can become.
Bestselling novelist and storyworld creator Jill Marshall hosts The Download, a podcast where fiction, intuition and philosophy meet. Drawing on her books and cross-media storyworlds, Jill explores the archetypes, synchronicities, and hidden currents that shape both our personal lives and our collective stories. Each episode invites you to see creativity not just as art, but as a mirror of truth, a prophetic force, and a pathway to self-development.
Join Jill each week for downloads that illuminate the hidden patterns in story — and in you.

The Power of Full Circle Moments: Transformative Journeys in Life and Creativity
Welcome to The Download, where intuition meets insight. In this episode, we explore the concept of 'coming full circle' - a profound journey in which we return to a familiar place or situation transformed. We'll delve into examples from films and TV (The White Lotus, anyone?), books and storytelling, psychology, business, and personal anecdotes to illustrate how full circle moments offer spiritual milestones and deeper integrations of our past and present selves. Discover how these cycles can signal growth and readiness for new stages in life. Don't miss this insightful discussion on recognising and embracing your own full circle moments, with practical tips for reflecting, accepting, integrating, and sharing your experiences.
