Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.

What if catharsis isn’t a single dramatic release but a daily reset that turns judgment into compassion? We sit down with artist and educator Greg Spalenka to explore how story, image, music, and spiritual practice can move us from fear to presence—and why that shift might be the most important creative skill we have.

"Take your broken heart—make it into art." —Carrie Fisher, actress. In this episode—fifth in this season's exploration of the Language of the Soul book—we explore the mechanics of catharsis. From the moment Aristotle coined the term to assign cultural value to the arts in the face of fascism, the catharsis art provides has transformed us emotionally, while shifting our thought forms and paradigms. The cleansing is threefold: the creative process serves as purgation for the artist, then vicariously for the patron. And as always, through the ripple effect, society evolves in kind.

When the plot of life breaks, the real story begins. We open Season Three of Language of the Soul Podcast by returning to the book that inspired it, using Chapter One: STORY and TRANSFORMATION to map the path from crisis to opportunity, from strife to paradigm shift. Conflict resolution is the means by which we transform, individually and collectively. Through the ripple effect, personal transformation always equals cultural evolution. To help us explore the content of the book, were joined by regular guests Mythologist and Midlife Coach Andrea Slominski, PhD and Author, Vocal Coach and Creativist Rene Urbanovich. Together, we connect narrative therapy, archetypes and the collective unconscious with the chemical basis of storytelling to show why stories are more than entertainment. They’re the means by which we transform.

The SEEKER blends inspirational Visionary Fiction with Mythic Fiction in this epic reimagining of the tale of Icarus. In his plunge from glory, rather than perishing in the waters of the Aegean, Icarus is rescued by a passing mariner, fictional demigod Amitayus, who is unaware of his own divinity. The two embark on an epic odyssey, braving impediments only Zeus himself could whip up, as Amitayus seeks the truth that will earn him a place in Elysium. Told through the lens of Greek Classicism, The SEEKER puts a modern spin on classic archetypes that lend it unmatched spiritual resonance.

Dominick Domingo is a veteran Disney Feature Animation artist and live-action filmmaker whose award-winning narrative nonfiction essays and short stories have been included in anthologies. His Young Adult Fantasy trilogy The Nameless Prince launched in 2012 through Twilight Times Books and has been capturing imaginations since. The Seeker represents Dominick’s foray into Mythic Visionary Fiction. It is a universal parable about Transformation that speaks to the journey we all share.

Conflict resolution is the means by which we transform, individually and collectively. Through the ripple effect, personal transformation always equals cultural evolution.

Andrea M. Slominski, Ph.D., is a women’s therapeutic midlife and menopause coach, speaker, and author. She went back to school at fifty-five and earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in women’s psychology and mythology, focusing on the triple transformation women must navigate in midlife. Her coaching method is based on archetypal and depth psychology. In her Ph.D. research, Andrea identified the new life stage for women over the past 120 years, including perimenopause, midlife, menopause, and post-menopause. She names this new life stage from ages 45-70+ “Regency” and identifies it as women’s new power years.

We change minds by touching hearts. In this episode—second in this season's exploration of the Language of the Soul book—we explore how storytelling is the means by which we transform, both individually and collectively. From the late '60s whiplash of Woodstock and the Moon Landing to the solitude of lockdown, we map why crisis categorically precedes transformation—and how narrative turns adversity into growth. From chemical growth-versus-protection responses on a cellular level, to the mapping of our world views on the neurological level—in response to daily threats and opportunities—this episode will outline the mechanics of belief. And how nothing molds our beliefs or the value systems they comprise like STORY.

Returning to the Source

In Season Three, Dominick and Virginia return to "Language of the Soul: How Story Became the Means by which We Transform," the book that inspired the podcast. We set the tone for season three by engaging the book directly, clarifying our mission, and drawing a bright line between story that transforms and story that manipulates. We share how biology, ethics, and pedagogy shape the way narratives bond tribes and change lives.
