The Voyage Cast
As therapists, we started this podcast because therapy can only take us so far. Throughout history, it was the stories of our lives that connected and inspired us to become who we could be, so we endeavor to do the same. Our stories teach us and show us that our struggles, though difficult, do not have to define or control us. No matter what you think about your story, it matters! It may not be apparent right away but hope is embedded in the nature of every story, and we need hope. So, we are here to share stories from personal to professional. We are here to help inspire change in individual lives because we believe that your story and ours, can help change generations.

The Dangers of being your own god!
In this episode, we explore the subtle yet dangerous temptation of self-sovereignty—the deep-seated desire to be entirely self-reliant and in control. We live in an era where phrases like “You are enough” and “Create your own reality” are celebrated, but what happens when independence turns into isolation and autonomy becomes an obsession? Reflecting on insights from literature, psychology, and theology, we unpack the cracks in the illusion of being our own god and how this mindset can lead to loneliness, anxiety, and emptiness. Through thought-provoking examples, we examine how unchecked pride and the pursuit of control weigh us down. Ultimately, we propose a countercultural alternative—embracing humility, connection, and trust in something greater. Join us as we grapple with the balance between autonomy and surrender, and discover how letting go might be the freedom we truly need.
