INNER JOURNEY 
Psychology, Inc.

[Stage 1 — Ordinary World] This post is part of The Entrepreneur’s Hero’s Journey, a 12-stage series exploring entrepreneurship as a Hero’s Journey. In this stage, reflect on your ordinary world—the familiar routines, environments, and tensions shaping your professional life—to notice subtle signals from your inner entrepreneur before stepping into the adventure ahead.

As the New Year begins, not all of us feel ready to move forward with clarity or resolution. Sometimes, what we need most is not another goal, but a moment of listening. This reflection invites a quieter way of beginning—one that honors pause, discernment, and the wisdom of starting from within.

Since February 2025, Inner Journey began a weekly blog project rooted in reflection, meaning-making, and connection beyond the therapy room. As the year comes to a close, this post offers a review of our 2025 writing—organized by category—for readers who are new, returning, or simply curious to explore at their own pace.
