EP3 - Third Act Thursday

The ‘3rd act’ of someone’s life is generally regarded as the period where someone enters retirement.

I want to talk about the 3rd Act as a period in our Hero’s Journey where we are coming out of a stage of growth and discovery - we have done some soul searching, we have made some changes and we are ready to return to everyday life - better than ever before!

A simplified view of the Hero’s Journey breaks it into 3 stages or acts :
1) The calling. The feeling there is more to life.
2) The threshold. Crossing into the unknown, the point of no return. This is the stage (act 2) that prevents most people from entering this journey as it creates a lot of feelings of fear and uncertainty.
3) Rebirth. You have made your way out of the darkness, the soul searching, you have realigned with your calling and created a higher version of yourself.
You have recovered the essence of who you are.

Recovery is a term that speaks to the “action of recovering something that was lost or stolen”.
Are there any events in your life where you felt like you lost sight of who you are, or why you’re here? Was there anything traumatic that happened that created a feeling of your innocence being taken from you?
A divorce, bullying, substance abuse, relationship trauma?

I know for me, personally, I have experienced all the above!
We will be talking a lot about reframing life situations on this show, which will lead to dissolving and resolving any victim mentality you may have.

3rd act means rebirth.
3rd act also means you are ready to share your story with others…a byproduct of this sharing can be helping others get out of their 2nd stage of soul searching - that, let’s face it, can be frightening and create feelings of ‘alone’ and ‘stuck’.

Your 3rd act can be: coming out of a relationship, recovering from an addiction, pivoting careers, starting your own business, going back to school, starting a health & wellness program to transform your body and mind…you get the idea.

The Heros Journey is a cycle we run throughout our lives. Some are big character arches full of deep peaks and valleys of transformation, some are much smaller and more subtle.

Keep in mind - every Hero’s Journey includes a mentor for the protagonist. Luke Skywalker had Obi-Wan, Neo had Morpheus, Sarah Connor had Kyle Reese…

Where are you on your hero’s journey? I am interested to know.
Is there a calling you have that you haven’t answered yet?
Are you a little uneasy or afraid to enter that 2nd act?

I can support you with all of this.
If you need help or guidance, I am just a few clicks away.
I give a free complimentary 90-minute discovery call where we can identify where you are and where you can get to.

Remember: fear and excitement show up in the body the exact same way. It is all about how your mind processes it.
Are you afraid and full of self-doubt?
Or are you excited and full of curiosity and enthusiasm?

The choice is yours.
Red pill or blue pill? ;)
