What if the key to your second stage isn’t finding something new—but reclaiming what’s been there all along? In this dynamic episode of Her Second Stage, Hilda Lunderstedt welcomes archetype expert Desiree Rodriguez to awaken the 12 feminine forces that live inside every woman. Together, they unpack how archetypes like the Queen, Wild Woman, Temptress, Creatrix, and Sorceress serve as living energies that can be called on to support women navigating reinvention, identity loss, burnout, or post-motherhood transitions.

Desiree shares her compelling personal story—growing up in a restrictive religious community, thriving in a male-dominated tech industry, and then unraveling years of disconnection from her feminine nature. Through story, movement, astrology, and monthly embodiment rituals, she discovered that these ancient archetypes weren’t abstract—they were practical, powerful tools to live a fuller, freer life.

You’ll discover how to work with the archetypes as resources, rather than roles—calling them in to support your relationships, leadership, emotional expression, creativity, and self-love. You’ll also learn the shadow side of each archetype and how unexpressed feminine energy creates disconnection, rage, repression, people-pleasing, and loss of vitality. Whether you’re an empty nester, a CEO, recently divorced, or simply sensing that more is possible—this conversation will reignite your feminine soul.

This episode is an invitation to become the sovereign of your inner world. You are not just one archetype—you are all twelve. And the next stage of your life isn’t about shrinking—it’s about expanding into the radiant, raw, and powerful woman you already are.

You’ll learn:

• The 12 core feminine archetypes and what they unlock in your life

• Why women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s feel lost after roles like mother or wife shift

• How to use archetypes to access sensuality, courage, leadership, intuition, and creativity

• How to embody “scary” archetypes like the Temptress or Sorceress with grace and power

• The difference between feminine fantasy and real-life embodiment.

How shadow sides of each archetype create burnout, resentment, and emotional suppression.
