179. The Main Character’s Movie Map: Rewrite Your Life in Genres With This Fun Exercise

If your life were a film, what genre would you be living in right now? And what genres shaped the eras you’ve already survived, conquered, or quietly grown through? 

This episode introduces the Movie Map, a playful yet powerful storytelling tool that helps you chart your personal history like a cinematic timeline – complete with chapters, villains, soundtracks, and plot twists.

It’s part reflection, part creative therapy, part character development session. By mapping your journey as a film, you’ll see your past with more compassion, understand your growth with greater clarity, and script an exciting next act filled with intention, courage, and Main Character Energy.
