Women and Mythology
Women and Mythology is a soulful exploration of myth as a living force in our contemporary lives. This podcast sits at the intersection of ancestral stories, feminine wisdom, and creative awakening.
In Season 1, I tell ancestral myths and fairy tales, followed by rich symbolic commentary. In Season 2, I’m joined by mythologists from around the world, weaving conversations that awaken the soul and call you back to your deepest self.
If you’re longing to live with more meaning, beauty, and connection to the old wisdom, this is for you. Welcome to the mythic life!
