Path of the Jedi: Star Wars meets Personal Development

Send us Fan Mail We’re celebrating our one year anniversary here at Path of the Jedi by staying in the moment☺️ Let's connect on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/ronniecruz.bsky.social

Send us Fan Mail Droids are an integral piece of the Star Wars universe.  They serve as much purpose as their organic being counterparts.  And while the question of whether or not droids in Star Wars are sentient beings continues to be heavily debated, we’re taking the conversation in a little bit of a different direction.  This is Path of the Jedi after all and we want ti explore how the droids’...

Send us Fan Mail The CHOSEN ONE.  In Star Wars it’s a conversation that’s ongoing and has as many perspectives as participants.  So we thought it finally time we chime in with our take on the prophecy and who we think the chosen one is.  Give a listen and see what you think.  Let's connect on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/ronniecruz.bsky.social

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we discuss the overarching theme of all six episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi.  Part 6 really solidified to me that it was all about getting past the trauma of Order 66 — no matter what that trauma looked like.  For us here on earth, it’s a lesson in letting go of our narratives, the stories we tell ourselves if our past that anchor the hurts, the regrets, the guilt, all...

Send us Fan Mail I love that we finally get Reva’s back story in Kenobi Part 5.  And what an emotional back story it is.  So in this week’s Path of the Jedi we continue our conversation of letting go of the past — not the of the events, because we can’t change what happened.  Rather letting go of the meanings we carry of the past.  We can definitely change how we think of and therefore feel about...

Send us Fan Mail The pain of loss. Grief.  It’s where I am at the moment so we’re taking a break this week from our conversations on Kenobi to talk about a subject that we all at some point in our lives face — loss of a loved one.  I share with you all what I’ve been dealing with and how I’ve managed my grief, how I’ve coped with loss and the day to day things that have gotten me through. My hope...

Send us Fan Mail Letting go of the past is something we all have struggle with.  In Kenobi Part 4, this has never been more clear for our hero Obi-Wan.  Faced with the the real and danger of imminent harm to Princess Leia, Obi- Wan must face his past or risk not being able to rescue her. So what how can we move on?  How can we let go?  Is it really possible to face past traumas and move forward wi...

Send us Fan Mail The theme that kept jumping out at me in Obi-Wan Kenobi Part 3 was COMMUNICATION.  I saw it in practically every interaction of every character throughout this entire episode.  So what can Star Wars teach us about communication? 1. That we communicate with so much more than just our words. 2. What we DON'T say can betray what's going on in our hearts and minds more than...

Send us Fan Mail There’s so much to chew on in this latest episode of Obi Wan Kenobi, it’s hard to limit it to just one show.  And for sure we’ll be revisiting this episode, and entire series for that matter, because it’s so rich thematically.  For today, we’re honing in on what makes Leia Leia.  At her core, I think the story that’s unfolding in Kenobi Part 2 paints a picture of Leia that we have...

Send us Fan Mail We’re back!  After a nice hiatus to exotic locales, I’m so happy to be back with a fresh new episode for you all.  I know the show has wrapped, but we’re gonna continue our conversation of Kenobi by picking up where we left off — namely letting go of the narratives from the past that can hold us back. #BlankSlate — a tool that can have profound ramifications for the progress of al...

Send us Fan Mail Kenobi! Man oh man, there's so much to talk about in just this premier episode of the new Obi Wan Kenobi series, that I'm actually going to have to split it up into multiple shows! In today's show, we dig into the state of Obi Wan's life, especially his mental and emotional health living as a hermit after the trauma he experienced during the execution of Order...

Send us Fan Mail Obi-Wan Kenobi is finally here!  The long awaited and much anticipated show premiered on the Disney+ streaming service so that means it's going to be all things Kenobi for us here on Path of the Jedi.  Before we dive into the actual show however, I wanted to lay a foundation of what makes Obi-Wan so beloved by fans the world over.  Strap in because we going to be learning fro...

Send us Fan Mail Star Wars Celebration is upon us!

Send us Fan Mail Raise your hand if you love Solo: A Star Wars Story! I know I do.  This movie gave us a deeper understanding of two of the most beloved character from Star Wars - Chewbacca and Han Solo.  In this episode we discover Han's (and all of ours) need for connection.  On the surface we may see Han a scoundrel and a drifter.  But there's so much more going on there and with this...

Send us Fan Mail Do we have free will or is everything that happens in our lives pre-determined?  This BIG topic and nothing less is what we cover in this episode as we examine the ninth and final episode of Star Wars Visions.  In Akakiri, our hero Tsubaki seems all but doomed to a very dark fate.  Can he change that trajectory?  Or is he destined to fulfill the visions set before him? Get your co...

Send us Fan Mail The slap incident at the Oscars was all anyone was talking about this past week.  However, as with many "controversies", the conversations were rarely productive and hardly constituted actual discourse.  For me, seeing Will Smith, a role model of mine who I held in very high regard, lose control and slap Chris Rock on national television... well let's just say it ef...
