The Download Podcast, with Jill Marshall

Exploring patterns, archetypes, and stories that reveal who we are — and who we can become.

Drawing on her books and cross-media storyworlds, Jill explores the archetypes, synchronicities, and hidden currents that shape both our personal lives and our collective stories. Each episode invites you to see creativity not just as art, but as a mirror of truth, a prophetic force, and a pathway to self-development.
