I’m sure you’ve heard the words “Hero’s Journey” many times in your life, but what about “Heroine’s Journey,” and are men’s and women’s experiences of self-actualization all that different?
Well, according to Maureen Murdock, author and creator of the Heroine’s Journey, while there are similarities, women’s journeys of self-actualization differ in one fundamental way. Namely, that women have to make double the journey, not only learning to reclaim their own feminine aspects, but also having to navigate the world of men and the Patriarchy.
In this week’s episode of the Goddess-Witch Spectrum Podcast, it is a two-for-one episode where I will cover women’s experience navigating the Heroine’s Journey and the outline Murdock created in her model as well as compare it to the 2023 Barbie Movie starting Margot Robbie.

This podcast also perfectly pairs with an on-demand webinar I am offering titled Veiled Wisdom: Uncovering the Heroine’s Journey Through Tarot, which you can purchase using the link below. This webinar also gives viewers an upcoming sneak peek at my Tarot deck and book focused on women’s psycho-spiritual self-actualization process, which Murdock and her outline have inspired.
