The Last Jedi & Saving What We Love
The first episode of 2018 has Cyndera and Julienne discussing the archetypes and mythological themes in the latest Star Wars film, The Last Jedi and the parallels to current events.

When my clients are trying to figure which of two similar archetypes fits them the best, I often suggest they try each one on and see how they fit.
