## Resource

Power isn’t always pretty and neither are the gods who wield it. In our fifth episode of the Greek Pantheon series, we dive into one of the messiest corners with Zeus, Ares, and Hephaestus. This is a conversation about power in all its forms. Toxic authority, sacred anger, and the kind of creativity that’s born from rejection. We explore the father wound, what happens when power is abused or suppressed, and how these myths reflect your own relationship with leadership, anger, and worth. This goes far beyond mythology. It is about reclaiming your voice, understanding your anger, and owning the power that was always yours. If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or overlooked, this episode will hit differently.
