🎙️ The Valkyrie Archetype: Courage, Boundaries & Building a Life Beyond Survival
This is part of The 5 Empowerment Archetypes series, and today, we’re stepping into The Valkyrie — the warrior of reinvention. She’s the woman who has endured battles, rebuilt herself, and learned to stand tall even when everything around her was falling apart. The Valkyrie teaches us that strength isn’t just about survival — it’s about choosing a life where you no longer have to fight for every inch.
You’ll uncover the light side of the Valkyrie — courage, clarity, decisiveness, and fierce self-protection — as well as the shadow side, which can look like hyper-independence, distrust, emotional walls, or staying in “battle mode” long after the war is over. Then we’ll explore what it means to evolve this archetype — to soften without losing your edge, to be powerful without being on guard, and to build a life filled with peace, pleasure, and support.
If you’ve ever been the woman who had to be her own rescuer, this episode will remind you: your strength got you here… but your softness is what will shape your next chapter.
