Your Hero’s Journey | Awaken Your Myth with Erik Ireland

Erik Ireland is known online as “your queer mountain grandpa,” where he shares stories and mindfulness practices for folks who want a little more peace and purpose.I got to sit down with him to talk about his new book, Awaken Your Myth, where he moves beneath surface-level self-improvement into identity, shadow, and the deeper forces shaping what we create.In this conversation, you’ll hear about his journey as a content creator sharing his voice publicly, the inner work he has done to really own his story, and why self-compassion is the secret weapon for doing anything brave.WATCH EPISODES ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/heatherparady TOPICS FROM THIS EPISODE:How shadow work reveals both your wounds and your giftsNavigating criticism while sharing your story publiclySelf-compassion as a creative and leadership practiceCONNECT WITH ERIK IRELAND:Buy Awaken Your Myth: https://awakenyourmyth.com/book/Follow Erik: https://www.instagram.com/listentosleep/ CONNECT WITH HEATHER:Follow Heather on IG: https://www.instagram.com/heatherparady/ Access Full Show Notes Here: https://www.heatherparady.com/blog/166
