A monstrous mashup of flash fiction, mythology, and personal development.
If you’ve ever wondered how demons can segue into a conversation about value, how a Japanese ghost can inspire a conversation about the stories we tell ourselves, or how the mythology behind vampires can teach you about procrastination, this is the podcast for you.
Your host is Rick Kitagawa, Inner Monster Wrangler at: kaijucoaching.com.
You can also read his daily blog over at: rickkitagawa.com/blog
Rick also is the co-host of In Trust, a podcast that's all about the most important asset of our time - trust.
When a trip goes awry, something demonic emerges and convinces someone to make a fatal choice..
To celebrate the 50th episode(!) as well as mark the end of Season 1 of the Inner Monster Podcast, I take a look at Satan himself. I dive into both his etymological origins, as well as his role around tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden. This leads me to talking about knowledge and learning, and I dive into my issues with the current educational system as well as some ideas on how to make it better.

Frankenstein's Monster - Making Better Decisions - EP 49
I'm hiking through a foggy forest, when I encounter a patchwork creature that is very angry at humanity...
We go literary this episode and dive into Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, the origin for the pop culture icon of Frankenstein's Monster. I clear up some common misperceptions about Frankenstein, and then we dive into the decision that the good doctor makes that changes his life forever - reanimating a giant humanoid with secret science. We'll then dive into both the evaluation of decisions, as well as how to get better at making decisions.

Matau the Giant - Building Resilience Towards Failure and Rejection - EP 48
I find myself bruised and battered, in a place altogether unfamiliar to me. And then a shocking discovery is made...
This week's episode explores the Maori mythology of Matau, a giant, kidnapping, supernatural jerk and the aftermath of his murder. This somehow turns into an exploration of resilience towards failure and rejection, and I dive into some practical tips on building more of it. Fun for the whole family!
