Chapter Overview

Description

This narrated adaptation explores the idea that modern life can quiet a woman’s instinctive nature—the part that knows, feels, creates, protects, and belongs to something larger than rules and expectations. Through myths and fairy tales, the listener is invited to notice where that “wildish” self still lives: in dreams, symbols, longing, grief, love, and art.

Each story becomes a kind of medicine—an image to sit with, rather than a lesson to force. Together, they offer a supportive way to strengthen intuition, recognize danger without fascination, find true belonging, protect creative gifts, and learn emotional regulation through lived experience.

Who Should Listen

  • Women who feel disconnected from their instincts, creativity, or inner confidence, and want a gentle path back to themselves.
  • Listeners drawn to myth, fairy tales, Jungian themes, and symbolic storytelling as a form of reflection and healing.
  • Anyone navigating relationships, family dynamics, or personal boundaries, who wants language and imagery for recognizing red flags and reclaiming self-trust.
