Mike Brcic reflects on the Hero’s Journey and how it offers context, clarity, and meaning for the wilderness of midlife. This episode is an invitation to recognize that your longing, your restlessness, your ache for something more... these aren’t flaws. They’re compasses. And they’ve been guiding you all along.

9. THE GIFT
There comes a quiet moment after the journey ends. The suitcase is unpacked, the stories are fresh, and life begins to feel more like your own. That moment is not the conclusion. It's the beginning of something even more sacred: the offering. In this second-to-last episode of Season One, Mike reflects on the quiet power of gifts born from our deepest wounds. Through stories of childhood loss, the ache of belonging, and examples from Maya Angelou, Frida Kahlo, and Martin Luther King Jr.,...

8. THE RETURN
After the mountaintop comes the homecoming. And this, too, is sacred. In this episode, Mike explores one of the most overlooked stages of the hero’s journey: The Return. When the insight fades and the world remains unchanged, how do you carry your transformation into everyday life? How do you stay true to what you’ve become? With honesty and warmth, Mike names the ache of returning changed, and the courage it takes to live your truth when the systems around you haven't shifted. ...

7. THE REVELATION
THE REVELATION: BEAUTY THAT BREAKS YOU OPEN What happens when the striving ends and the soul begins to speak? In this raw and poetic reflection, Mike explores the tender terrain of revelation, not as a sudden lightning bolt, but as a slow, embodied awakening. Through stories from his own life and a stirring account of one participant's ascent in the mountains of Laos, we witness the profound clarity that can emerge after the unravelling. This episode is for anyone who has chosen truth o...

6. THE TRIAL
The Trial: Facing Your Own Dragons You’ve already said yes to a more soulful life. You’ve crossed the threshold, left behind the old map, and stepped into the wilderness. But now the way forward vanishes beneath your feet, and all you're left with is the silence and yourself. In this episode, we explore The Trial, a sacred moment in every Wayfinder’s journey where clarity is absent, doubt is deafening, and the only thing being tested is your devotion to the truth that called you here. T...

5. THE GUIDES
We Are Never Meant to Walk Alone At some point in every soul journey, the map dissolves. You’re walking through the wilderness of midlife, uncertain and raw, and then... someone shows up. Not with answers, but with presence. This episode is a meditation on the quiet power of guides. Mike shares the story of a gentle but powerful man who walked beside him when the lights had nearly gone out, and what that experience taught him about seeking and becoming a guide. You’ll hear refle...

4. THE DESCENT
There comes a moment on every soul journey when the map has burned, the compass spins, and the stories we’ve told ourselves no longer hold. This is The Descent. Not the ache of knowing change is needed, nor the resistance to it, but the cold, quiet wilderness that follows after the letting go. A space of sacred unravelling where identity dissolves and something new waits to be born. In this deeply personal episode, Mike Brcic shares the raw terrain of his own descent: from the collapse ...

3. THE THRESHOLD
There comes a moment when staying put becomes more painful than stepping into the unknown. In this episode of The Wayfinder’s Guide to Life, Mike explores that sacred moment of decision, when the soul whispers “it’s time” and you find yourself on the edge of the map. We talk about what it means to cross the threshold in midlife: to choose courage over comfort, to honour the quiet ache for something more, even when the path ahead is uncertain. Mike shares the personal story of walking aw...

2. THE RESISTANCE
In this stirring second chapter of The Wayfinder’s Journey, Mike Brcic invites us into the raw and often unspoken terrain of resistance: that sacred and deeply human hesitation that follows the soul’s first whisper. What happens after the call arrives but before we’re ready to answer it? This episode explores the inner walls we build with logic, busyness, and success to keep the truth at bay. Drawing from mythic stories, his own entrepreneurial unravelling, and encounters in Bhutan’s sa...

1. THE CALL
Welcome to the very first episode of The Wayfinder’s Guide to Life.

SEASON 1 INTRO
In this inaugural episode of A Wayfinder’s Guide to Life, host Mike Brcic invites you into the wilderness... both literal and metaphorical. Recorded deep in the northern woods of Ontario, this is more than a podcast introduction. It’s a soul call for entrepreneurs and leaders in midlife who’ve climbed the first mountain of success, only to find it strangely silent at the summit. Mike shares his own story of burnout, quiet reckoning, and the midlife unravelling that led him to create Way...
