"She transforms her own dark into her own light. She sees her private shadows - and loves them. She meets her emotional depths - and owns them. She faces her private fears of separation - and rises above the illusion. She is the source of her Self and she is always in a state of greater becoming."
"The Modern Heroine’s Journey of Consciousness" offers an original exploration through 11 phases of spiritual growth, from answering the Call of her Soul and Opening Up To A Greater Power, to Surrender, Awakening to Deeper Soul Power, and Mastery of Her Consciousness.

~ 8 CHARACTERISTICS OF A HEROINE's JOURNEY
The journey of spiritual growth is different from the visual, physical, public hero’s journey we typically recognize in movies. It is different for every person and for each woman, yet there are also common themes and stages that make spiritual growth an archetypal journey.
Becoming your own Modern Heroine is a journey as unique as you. From becoming an entrepreneur, to giving birth, to embarking on a weight loss diet, or making a life-changing decision to move abroad and start over, you have everything you need to answer the Call of your Soul and trust the adventure. And that means questions come up along the way, such as:
What about the spiritual growth in this experience? How are you able to expand your personal consciousness through this unique journey? How does the archetypal hero’s journey relate to our crazy-hectic-busy lives, contemporary choices, and a quest for modern spiritual growth?
Referencing Joseph Campbell’s highly influential the hero’s journey alongside her bestselling memoir, Molly McCord, M.A., asks the reader to reflect on their own life journey with consciousness-raising wisdom and insights.
"The Modern Heroine’s Journey of Consciousness" brilliantly explains the gifts at every phase of spiritual growth and reveals how the inner journey is an awakening to more of her Soul self. The second book in The Awakening Consciousness Series is a must-have guide for any contemporary seeker who is curious about their spiritual journey.

Book One in the Awakening Consciousness Series is THE ART OF TRAPEZE: ONE WOMAN'S JOURNEY OF SOARING, SURRENDERING, AND AWAKENING and hit #1 in Memoirs: Adventurers & #1 in Spiritual Self-Help! {thank you, thank you!]
Book Two is THE MODERN HEROINE'S JOURNEY OF CONSCIOUSNESS and for the first time, connects Joseph Campbell's the hero's journey to spiritual growth (Dec 2013).
CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS: POWERFUL AFFIRMATIONS TO CONNECT WITH YOUR SOUL'S LANGUAGE (Dec 2013) - Modern situations, past life stories, powerful affirmations! A rare combination of wisdom for understanding the root of energies.
CONSCIOUS MESSAGES: SPIRITUAL WISDOM AND INSPIRATIONS FOR AWAKENING (Dec 2013) - 21 inspiring high-vibrational channeled messages for Soul-Full living. Great for anyone interested in Abraham-Hicks, Sanaya Roman, Duane Packer, the Seth materials, and Barbara Marciniak.
I love the ambition of this book! She sets out to juxtapose a modern woman's hero's journey against Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, which largely excludes women. She wants to inspire and encourage women along life's challenges that any of us will encounter while working our way up the soul evolution ladder. It is somewhat of a blueprint in the same vein as Campbell's work. I enjoyed it!
This must be read in conjunction with the rest of the series. Very well written, and easy to understand with background as per bibliography. I wouldn’t recommend it as a stand alone book. Now excuse me while I reach for number three.
