INNER JOURNEY 
Psychology, Inc.

In an achievement-driven world that prizes action, productivity, and external success, many women feel a quiet inner imbalance. Drawing from Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey, this series explores an inward path of development—one that honors loss, longing, and healing as essential movements toward wholeness, especially within masculine-dominant cultures like Silicon Valley.

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.

Even as women embrace adulthood, the spark of the inner girl — her dreams, curiosity, and freedom — remains. Honoring this Eternal Girl while balancing life’s responsibilities allows women to keep their light alive, integrating imagination with reality, and carrying joy, creativity, and meaning into every stage of life.
