    Ep. 4: A Book of Job Survival Manual

    CJ has had a particularly difficult last 5 years or so, including battling alcoholism & depression, only to have his wife become disabled just as he was starting to come out of those struggles, which gave him & his family a bunch of new stresses, including severe financial ones that he's still trying to battle at the moment. In this episode of Archetopical, he shares some of that story, followed by a discussion of the things that he has found most helpful to him in getting through these struggles with his life, health, & marriage still intact, in the hopes that some of them may help you if & when you have to deal with your own seemingly endless series of very unfortunate events.You can support CJ's work on Archetopical via Patreon here: CJ Killmer | creating Dangerous History & Archetopical Productions | PatreonLike this episode?You can throw CJ a $ tip via Paypal here:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=D6VUYSYQ4EU6LThrow CJ a $ tip via Venmo here:https://www.venmo.com/u/dangeroushistoryOr throw CJ a BTC tip here:bc1qfrz9erz7dqazh9rhz3j7nv696nl52ux8unw79z

    Episode 2: The Hardest Part of the Hero's Journey

    In this episode of Archetopical, CJ discusses the hardest part of the hero's journey - death & rebirth - and explores why fear can make it so hard, but why, the harder it is in regard to a particular hero's journey to overcome those fears, the greater will be the boon you acquire by having the courage to do it anyway.Like this episode?You can throw CJ a $ tip via Paypal here:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=D6VUYSYQ4EU6LThrow CJ a $ tip via Venmo here:https://www.venmo.com/u/dangeroushistoryOr throw CJ a BTC tip here:bc1qfrz9erz7dqazh9rhz3j7nv696nl52ux8unw79z
