Your Story Is Your Purpose

We Are Secretly Trying to Find Ourselves in a Story

A few years ago, I had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day immersed in the art of storytelling with Michael Hauge of Story Mastery. That experience reignited a lifelong love for the transformative power of story.

Having studied film for three years back in the 90s, I’ve always been fascinated by how story shapes our perception of life — and how it continues to influence everything I create as an Author, Presenter, and Soul Purpose Mentor.

In this particular video, Michael highlights something profound — though perhaps indirectly — that we are all, in truth, the main characters in our own unfolding narrative. And that’s precisely why stories — whether in books or on the big screen — move us so deeply.

Have you ever wondered why so many people struggle to stay aligned with their purpose, even when their intention is crystal clear?

Michael reveals that what captivates us most in any great story is the maturation of the lead character — their transformation. That insight beautifully mirrors the essence of my own work. In my series of books based on the Living Attributes Typology, I explore this very process: guiding women to heal emotional wounds that gave rise to their shadow self — the flawed character within — so they can step into their authentic power.

When you begin to apply this understanding to your own life, you start to awaken your archetypal potential — the larger story waiting to be lived through you. This is the essence of your personal myth, your unique energetic signature in the greater world of archetypal forces.

Archetypes are the architects of story, and story itself is the timeless vehicle through which we experience what it means to be human. Our personal and cultural narratives form the tapestry of the human experience — intricate, symbolic, and profoundly interconnected. Without story, we can’t truly comprehend the full depth or beauty of our shared existence.

I invite you to reflect — and share your thoughts.
How has story helped you see yourself more clearly?
And in what ways are you still discovering the hero, star or master within your own unfolding tale?

 

 

The Benefits of Telling Your Story

There’s a transformative power in telling your story. It’s more than just sharing your experiences; it’s about reclaiming your narrative and owning your journey. When you put your thoughts into words, whether spoken or written, you begin to see the threads that connect your past to your present. What once felt fragmented starts to make sense, and you gain clarity on who you are and how you’ve grown.

Telling your story allows you to process what you’ve been through. As you express your experiences, you may notice that the emotions tied to them start to shift. What was once heavy or painful can lighten, becoming something you can hold with more ease. You begin to see your life from a new perspective—one where you’re not defined by the events of your past but empowered by them.

When you share your story, you also claim it. You stop running from the hard parts and embrace them as integral pieces of your journey. This act of ownership is liberating. It helps you stand taller, speak louder, and feel more at peace with yourself. And when you share your story with others, you invite connection, empathy, and understanding, creating space for both you and those who listen to grow.

How Telling Your Story Can Transform You

  • Heal Trauma
    • Speaking your truth can help you release emotions that have been bottled up, reducing the grip of painful memories.
    • By sharing, you begin to rewrite your narrative, transforming moments of struggle into stepping stones of growth.
    • Processing your story helps calm your nervous system, shifting your brain from survival mode to a place of safety and integration.
  • Build Confidence
    • When you tell your story, you take control of your narrative and recognize your strength.
    • Each time you share, you affirm your worth and your ability to rise above challenges.
    • Owning your story reinforces your voice, helping you speak with clarity and conviction.
  • Improve Heart-Brain Coherence
    • Storytelling helps align your thoughts and emotions, creating a sense of inner harmony.
    • It brings you into the present moment, helping you connect more deeply with your authentic self.
    • Sharing your journey with others fosters empathy and connection, which in turn nurtures balance within you.

Why Your Story Matters

Your story is unique, and sharing it isn’t just for your benefit—it can also inspire and heal others. When you open up, you allow others to see themselves in your experiences, reminding them that they’re not alone. Your courage to share could be the catalyst for someone else’s healing or self-discovery.

Telling your story is a way of declaring to the world: I have lived. I have grown. I have something to offer. It’s a gift, not only to yourself but to everyone who has the privilege of hearing it.

So, take a moment to reflect. What story is waiting to be told? Start small if you need to—write in a journal, share with a trusted friend, or simply speak it aloud to yourself. Embrace the beauty, the messiness, and the wisdom in your journey. In telling your story, you may discover that the act itself is as transformative as the experiences you’re sharing.

What is Story?

For me, story is the architecture of life.

It’s how I understand the world, how I make meaning of my experiences, and how I witness the unfolding of my human journey. Every twist and turn in life is part of a larger narrative—crafted not only by events, but by the deeper patterns that shape who I am becoming.

Our archetypes are the architects of these stories. They design the inner landscapes of our thoughts, emotions, and values, and they influence how we express ourselves in the outer world.

I also believe that story moves through us—not just from memory or imagination, but as a living force. That’s because story contains archetypal energy. These are not simply characters or roles—we’re talking about deep, universal forces that live in the collective unconscious. They move through us to be expressed, integrated, and ultimately embodied and shared.

Story is not just a past to remember—it’s a pattern to live by.

Why Story Matters

My personal story is a sacred reflection of my soul’s journey. It reveals where I’ve been, who I’ve become, and what wisdom I carry forward. Through it, I can see how my values were formed and how they now inform the way I show up in the world.

Story builds bridges—between people, within communities, and across generations. It fosters empathy, evokes a sense of belonging, and brings depth and meaning to life.

When I explore my own story, I have uncover hidden archetypes, long-forgotten memories, and deeper layers of my identity. Story has the power to heal wounds, connect hearts, and awaken ones strength. It reminds me that I am not alone—and neither are you.

How I Work with Story

Over the years, I’ve developed a deep reverence for storytelling as both a sacred art and a transformational tool. Here’s how I engage with it:

  1. I explore my narrative threads—those moments of initiation, turning points, triumphs, and challenges that have shaped my journey. Each one holds insight, truth, and medicine.
  2. I let archetypes speak. I allow their energy to rise within me and guide my reflections. Archetypes bring structure, symbolism, and soul to my story.
  3. I map my story—not just the events, but the patterns, values, attributes, and breakthroughs that have defined my growth. This mapping offers clarity and reveals the design of my inner world.
  4. I practice storytelling as sacred ritual. I write it, speak it, and most importantly—I live it. Story becomes a way to honour my experiences, reclaim my voice, and integrate my soul’s journey.
  5. I share with courage and vulnerability. I know that when I tell my story with authenticity, I create resonance. I open the door for transformation—not just for myself, but for others who recognize a piece of their truth in my words.

In the end, story is alive. It moves through us, guided by archetypal forces that are calling to be expressed. It is one of the most powerful tools we have for healing, awakening, and becoming. When we learn to listen, shape, and share our stories consciously, we align with the deeper rhythms of life and begin to live in harmony with who we truly are.

So I keep telling my story—not as a finished product, but as a living, breathing expression of becoming. And I invite you to do the same. ~ Heart to Heart, Elizabeth

The Architects of Story: How Archetypes Move Through Us

Hello wondrous Souls,

Today I am talking about Stories, Archetypes and how they shape our destiny.

The concept of archetypes has been shaping the human story for millions of years. They are the architects of narratives, the blueprints of character, and the unseen hands that weave the great mythic patterns of existence. But what does that truly mean? And more importantly, how do we, as individuals, play a role in crafting these stories?

I see it like this—if we are capable of activating attributes like strength, courage, and integrity, then we are equally capable of activating and contributing attributes such as weakness, cowardice, and dishonesty. The stories we tell, and the roles we embody, are not passive occurrences but living, breathing forces that we summon into the world. And if practiced often enough, these energies become pathways—gateways for powerful archetypal forces that shape reality itself.

Archetypes: The Energy Currents Beneath Our Stories

Archetypes are more than characters in myths and legends; they are the primordial forces that guide human behaviour and perception. The Hero, the Teacher, the Healer, the Critic or the Risk Taker—these are not just symbolic figures, but active energies that move through us, waiting to be embodied, refined, or distorted.

Each of us is, in some way, an expression of archetypal energy. We channel these forces through our thoughts, actions, and choices. The more we engage with a particular archetypal pattern—whether consciously or unconsciously—the more we align ourselves with its essence. Over time, our repeated actions strengthen these patterns, making them dominant forces in our lives and in the collective field of humanity.

This is why both light and shadow exist in every archetype. Just as we can channel the Visionary’s foresight or the Divine Child’s generosity, we can also channel the Destroyer’s recklessness or the Tyrant’s greed. These patterns are neither good nor bad on their own—they simply are. It is our conscious interaction with them that determines how they manifest in the world.

The Consequences of the Stories We Live By

If we think of ourselves as living vessels of archetypal patterns, then we must also recognize our responsibility in shaping the larger human story. What we embody does not stay confined within us; it ripples outward. Every thought we entertain, every emotion we nurture, every action we take contributes to a greater field of influence.

Imagine the difference between a world shaped by those who consciously embody Resurrection, Autonomy, and Truth, versus one shaped by those unconsciously perpetuating Victimization, Co-dependency and Falsehood. The archetypal forces at play are the same, but the outcomes are worlds apart.

This is where awareness becomes crucial. The stories we absorb from culture, media, and personal experience influence the archetypal energies we engage with. If we are constantly immersed in narratives of scarcity, competition, and unworthiness, we may unknowingly reinforce those energies within ourselves and the world around us. However, if we attune to stories of plentiful, unity, and blissful, we create a different energetic imprint—one that fosters growth, connection, and evolution.

Story as a Co-Creative Force

Story is not just a marketing tool or a pleasant escape for entertainment. It is a living, co-creative force that seeks to move through us—as humans we are vessels of meaning, carriers of myth, and custodians of the sacred narrative.

Ancient cultures understood this. They did not simply tell stories; they lived them. Myths were more than fables—they were maps of consciousness, instructing people on how to engage with the archetypal energies that shaped their lives. Rituals, initiations, and rites of passage were designed to ensure that individuals did not just inherit a story but embodied it in a way that contributed to the well-being of the collective.

In the modern world, much of this wisdom has been forgotten. Story has been relegated for entertainment and business, and many have become unconscious participants in narratives they never consciously chose. Yet the power of story remains unchanged—it still shapes us, moves through us, and influences the course of our world.

The Invitation to Consciously Shape the Narrative

So the question is not just, What story am I telling?  but, What story is moving through me? And is it one that uplifts, restores, and honours life—or one that diminishes it?

We are not just consumers of stories; we are their architects. With every choice we make, we align ourselves with certain archetypal currents, reinforcing patterns that either sustain the beauty and longevity of humanity or contribute to its unraveling.

This is an invitation: to become conscious storytellers, not just with our words, but with our lives. To recognize that every thought, action, and intention is a thread in the great mythic weave of our existence. An invitation to step into the role of the sovereign co-creator, shaping a world infused with gratitude, compassion, strength, passion, wisdom, forgiveness, joy, courage, and love.

The architects of story are always watching, waiting for us to decide.

What will you choose?

Reclaiming Our Sacred Birthright!

Today I am talking about the sacred practice of singing, dancing, storytelling and being creative.

Somewhere along the way, we lost something sacred. Singing, dancing, storytelling, and creating—once natural, instinctive expressions of the soul—became “skills” to be perfected rather than sacred acts of being. Now, we measure them by achievements, judge them by technique, and rank them by ability. The modern world has convinced us that the point of doing them is to “get good” rather than simply to be in them.

But what if we remembered the truth?

What if we saw these acts not as performances but as prayers? Not as talents to be evaluated but as echoes of something ancient and divine? What if we recognized them as the ways Spirit moves through us—guiding our voices into song, our bodies into dance, our hands into creation?

Birds do not take singing lessons, yet they fill the dawn with music. Bees do not perfect their technique before building, yet their hives form intricate sacred geometry. They do what they were created to do, instinctively and unapologetically. And so did we—before we were told to measure, compare, and judge.

Of course, mastery can be an offering, a devotion to the craft. But when we strip away the need for approval, we find the real essence of creation: the simple, sacred act of doing and becoming one with our creativity. Singing becomes a form of communion. Dancing becomes a prayer. Art becomes a portal.

Imagine a world where we sang because our souls longed to vibrate with the universe. Where we danced because the rhythms of the Earth called us into movement. Where we created not for validation but because Spirit is always creating through us.

This is about reclaiming our birthright. Returning to the truth that these expressions belong to all of us—not just the trained, the praised, or the polished. The song, the dance, the story, the art—they are ours, always have been, and always will be.

So, let’s sing—off-key, in harmony, as a whisper, as a roar. Let’s dance—wildly, softly, unashamedly. Let’s create—not to impress, but to commune, to heal, and to remember we are one with creation.

Because this is what humans do. And we were never meant to stop.

Heart to Heart and Blessings Abound.

Past Lives Present Futures

I have always been sceptical when people claimed they could see or sense others’ past lives; my “alarm bells” would go off. However, as I began to explore my past-life memories, I realized it wasn’t just the content of what I was remembering but also the way my body was recalling those experiences. Through focused attention and a clarity of intention, I uncovered memories of six past lives that seamlessly mirror areas of my current journey in different variations.

After spending a year immersed in integrating those past life experiences and crafting a new personal narrative, combined with my 35 years of experience as a transformation consultant, I’ve come to embrace a new understanding of the reality of past lives and inter-dimensional realities. I encourage you to approach this with an open mind and prepare to embark on a rewarding journey.

I still believe that it’s not appropriate to enter, voice or project ones ideas of another person’s past life simply because it’s not their past life. A person’s past life is indeed accessible if they are ready, willing, and available to do the necessary work.

The portal you enter may lead you to places you didn’t even realize you had been before.

I now know our past life experiences are a rich, vibrant, and largely untapped resource available to us in this lifetime. I’m genuinely grateful to have accessed these extraordinary and sacred visions and memories, and I hope you’ll join me in exploring your transformative potential at a Wisdom Of The Ages | Workshop.

Heart to Heart, Elizabeth
