Facing Our Heroic Journey with Allison Stieger

In this week's episode, we hear the story of humanity in myth with Allison Stieger.  Allison is a mythologist, author, speaker, and storyshaper who founded Mythic Stories Consulting.  Allison and I muse over topics as far afield as our path to becoming ancestors, learning compassion through application of archetypes, and the Current of the Universe.
