What if the key to resilience isn't changing your circumstances, but changing how you see your story? Michael McRay takes listeners through the profound idea that you are a character in a story—and how you understand your role and arc might be one of the most important frames you ever adopt. Drawing on Joseph Campbell's hero's journey and upcoming research from Dr. Ben Rogers, Michael reveals how people who view their lives through mythic storytelling frameworks report greater meaning, resilience, and well-being. In this episode, he also discusses:
- How the hero's journey framework increases resilience and reduces anxiety when applied to personal life
- Why challenges aren't signs you're off track—they're the exact terrain of transformation
- How stepping outside familiar contexts allows us to recognize patterns we couldn't see before
- Michael's Restoried Roadmap: moving from now story through wound story and no story to new story
