Women who run with the wolves – contacting the power of the wild woman
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
This is one for the most important books you will ever read as a woman.
I have to admit I struggled with the first few chapters. I wondered what all the fuss was about. But I persevered and this book will then reward you with so much insight if you keep going. Just hang on in there.
If you feel cast adrift in the world, this book offers insight into your innate feminine power as a woman. It enables you to develop your own inner strength through the power of storytelling and allegory and to emerge a stronger version of yourself.
It helps you to awaken your true strength and the ageless knowing which has been suppressed for centuries and to step back into your inner feminine power.

Deepak Chopra
It’s very easy to feel out of control or worried when it comes to your health, especially the moment as Coronavirus seems to be worsening. It can feel that there’s nothing that you can do to protect yourself or your loved ones. It’s easy to feel lost.

If women rose rooted – The journey to authenticity and belonging
Sharon Blackie
I absolutely love Sharon Blackie’s work. She blends an interesting mix of Celtic mythology with storytelling to take the reader on an enchanting journey into their soul.
The book is nothing less than transformative, guiding the reader on a quest to find their place in the world.
Sharon draws on strong women in Celtic folklore and modern contemporary women weaving their own lives. She writes beautifully, drawing you in to find your place.
You will finish this book feeling stronger, more complete and more rooted in the place that you live.
Rise sister rise – A guides to unleashing the wise, wild woman within
Rebecca Campbell
I first read this book when I was isolated in a hospital room receiving radiation therapy for Thyroid Cancer. I was utterly alone, being radioactive and thus barred from visitors. Even the nurses had to keep well away from me to protect themselves. That was my first taste of total isolation and it was horrifying. A deep mental struggle
Thankfully a friend had recommended this book and I download it to my kindle. I devoured it within 24 hours and I can absolutely say that it saved my sanity.
The book is a call for you to remember who you truly are. Part workbook, part handbook, full of history poetry and ideas this book will enable you to access the depths of your soul.
It will help you listen to your intuition, have courage, heal and be the person you came here to be.
This is the perfect book to help you deal with the mental struggles that isolation can bring.
