Today’s topic looks at the importance of the unique phases of human femininity that differentiate us from much of the natural world. We’ll explore the power behind each of the three phases as well as the shadow archetypes that emerge when we don’t properly mature through those phases. At the end, you’ll get a preview of my third novel, Rebirth, where these ideas are fused together.

Today’s topic zooms out to a macro view of life to appreciate the sheer number of different lives and experiences, then zooms back in to explore how little actually separates our worlds.
