Episode 1201 - #Monsters - Quick Overview

Noodles in the Sandbox

In this episode of Noodles in the Sandbox, we’re diving deep into the world of monsters—both real and metaphorical. Eva, Andrew, and I explore what these monsters represent in our own personal hero’s journey. From classic villains and physical beasts to the more elusive inner monsters like distraction, resistance, and anxiety, we break down how these obstacles stand in our way of growth and treasure. But beware, as Andrew reminds us, even treasure can come at a cost! What happens after you defeat your monster? Join us as we explore the challenges we face and what it means to truly conquer the things that hold us back.
