Customer Reviews

Fab-u-lus!
Soothing voice, charming stories, thoughtful and intelligent interpretations, relevant and useful to daily life. Ms. Estes is my new good friend. I have purchased more of her audio books after being so delighted with this one. Thanks Clarissa!

Resonates with me
Clarissa's warm and accomplished speaking voice together with her insight into all women is must-hear book. Mesmerizing and ringing with wisdom, this book resonates with me from start to finish. I have read her book and heard it on tape a few times and continue to find new insights into myself. Women who want to find their own inner truth, wisdom and creativity will find this a safe and inviting journey with Clarissa.

Stories to revive the Wild Woman inside
The Wild Woman's archetype manifestation is an endangered aspect in our psyche. The chauvinistic/psychopathic societies we live in, are designed to strangle this feminine aspect as to deprive women from their instinctual nature to resist, to fight back and to overcome. Women are to be kept subservient. But despite the predators from outside, a woman's worst predator is that of her inner landscape, born of the suppression from outside.

And that is why Estes book is of vital importance to each and every woman on this planet: through excellent writing, the use of stories and a profound insight into the feminine realm, she offers us the means and ways to understand the inner and outer restrictions on our instinctual selfs, and a map out to freedom, the key to unlock the chains that hold the Wild Woman captive.

A must read!
