Summary
Hey again, beautiful souls!
Meet Beth Martens, an archetype, purpose, and business coach, author, coach trainer, and founder of the House of Free Will in the Private Domain. Beth's story is one of resilience, enlightenment, and sacred purpose.

In this episode, we dive into Beth’s remarkable journey of self-discovery and healing. From her corporate career to her spiritual sojourns in India, and the profound impact of her three-year battle with cancer, Beth shares how facing mortality reshaped her perspective on life and death. We then explore how she used archetypes to navigate her hero's journey and how she now helps truth seekers find their sacred purpose and be valued for their life's work.
Throughout our conversation, we touch on subjects I know many of you care about deeply, including the fallen guru phenomenon, the allure and pitfalls of chasing higher states of consciousness, and the significance of suffering as a pathway to freedom.
Beth also shares her insights on shadow work, archetypes, and the crucial role of birth experiences in personal transformation. She also gifts us with good advice for the Nurturer archetype that many will resonate with; including establishing healthy boundaries and getting off the pendulum swing of high and low energies.
There’s no shortage of wisdom and spiritual guidance in this conversation. If you want to explore more of Beth’s work, read her book, Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness, listen to her podcast King Hero's Journey, and check out her online courses.
