GROW - with Special Guest Benjamin Balderson [King Hero Update]

from King Hero's Journey with Beth Martens · host Beth Martens

This week on the King Hero’s Journey I’m hosting Benjamin Balderson to do an update about what we think of it all given the sh*t show of the past five years.Honestly, a lot of my life is private now.I feel like I have a secret life.It’s not really my preference, it’s because there is so much work going on privately in my work that it needs most of my time and attention. And where unearthing people’s deepest experiences are concerned, it’s most certainly private.I’m focussed on a small number of members, clients, students, and apprentices where we’re building community from the ground up of people who actually want to GROW.And they’re willing to sacrifice (make sacred) a few things along the way.Like the comfort zone.Like the predictability of ordinary life.And the need to give their fear-based experiences authority over them.No one thinks they are doing that.I’ve made this my full-time life and work since 2003, and even I am surprised by the depths of programming in the death cult that more and more people are waking up to.In this stream I’m going to have a conversation about it with Ben and call on community to see who is catching the signal that growing on the Hero’s Journey is the biggest service we can be.I’ve been through a LOT of changes in the past five years alone. And I know it can be hard to keep up with me.So we’re going to jump on and bear witness to these changes, put them on the record, and prepare ourselves and my community for what is ahead of us.I hope you can make it live with me and special guest, Benjamin Balderson, a professional grower, in the chat on one of the platforms, YouTube, Rumble, Fakebook, X!!
