FTP077: The Mother Archetype - Helicopter Parent vs. Full Acceptance of Human Nature
After covering Jungian masculine archetypes in previous four episodes, today we are starting to explore feminine archetypes.

So in the second part of this series, we will explore the archetypes of The Mother, The Amazon, The Lover, The Witch, and The Queen.
We begin with The Mother, the characteristics of her full expression and her shadow versions, as well as the examples from popular culture, that will help you better understand and recognize this archetype.

FTP076: The King Archetype - The Crown of Mature Masculine Psyche
The King Archetype represents an integrated version of all other masculine archetypes.
The Lover, The Warrior and The Magician in their full expressions, with all positive traits solidified, are baked into The King. Interestingly enough, the childhood version of this archetype - The Divine Child, is the first one to emerge in a person's life. To fully integrate the mature version of The King archetype, it usually takes many years and a lot of life experience.
In this episode, we give an overview of The King's traits, its shadow versions, as well as how to access it in its fullness regardless of your age or the stage of life you are at.
