Ever hear of Dr. Jean Houston? She’s a mystic, a philosopher, a changemaker, an author, speaker and teacher. Known as spearheading the human potential movement, she has done a lot in her life. She asks: what if your life was part of a larger mythic journey?
In this heart-expanding episode of Blue Soul Chats, Renee sits down with one of her lifelong inspirations—Dr. Jean Houston, pioneer of the human potential movement and co-founder of the Foundation for Mind Research.
We talk about her adventures with UNICEF and the UN, her transformative teachings, and her legendary books like The Hero and the Goddess and The Wizard of Us. At 90, Jean is still teaching—most notably her Quantum Partners course—and radiates wisdom, elegance, and humor. We dive into archetypes, quantum transformation, and the idea of being a co-creator in your own story. If you’re on a path of awakening or looking for your deeper purpose, this interview is pure soul food.
