Being Super | Being Villainous

What if you’re not just the hero of your story? Being Super | Being Villainous by Christy Smallwood challenges the traditional battle between hero and villain by exploring the powerful truth that both can exist within us. Through the familiar language of superheroes, epic quests, battles, villains, and defining moments, Smallwood invites readers to examine the choices, struggles, obsessions, and influences that shape their lives. From answering your own Call to Adventure to confronting your inner villain, this book asks a provocative question: What are you willing to become to get what you want? And when you recognize the parts of yourself you would rather ignore, what will you choose to do with them? Ultimately, Being Super | Being Villainous is about convergence—not choosing between hero and villain, but learning to recognize both sides of yourself and live as a more complete, intentional whole. Because in the moments that matter most, you don't just reveal who you are—you decide who you become.
