About this listen
In Part 2, we move beneath the surface and explore the deeper origins of tropes , their roots in myth, psychology, and the human soul. Drawing from Jung, Joseph Campbell, and the collective unconscious, I examine how archetypes once served as living, spiritual structures of storytelling… and how corporations and cowardly trend-chasing authors flattened those archetypes into lifeless tropes.
This episode reveals the mythic, psychological, and spiritual architecture behind real storytelling, and makes the case for resurrecting fiction through interiority, courage, and genuine human depth. If Part 1 diagnosed the disease, Part 2 explains the organism that got infected... and how writers can heal it.
