#117 Reading from Women Who Run With The Wolves: Story is medicine

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode I read from the classic Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. She tells us about the 'wild woman', the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power. For centuries, the 'wild woman' has been repressed by a male-orientated value system which trivialises women's emotions.

Recently I came back to it, and I want to share the afterword with you in this episode, where we explore the concept - story is medicine.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Discover show notes, our library and more on</span> <a href= "http://www.goingconscious.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">www.goingconscious.com</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Nikki:</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Instagram & LinkedIn</span> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/nikkitrott/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">@nikkitrott</span></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.nikkitrott.com"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">www.consciousaccelerator.com</span></a></p>
