Ep.39 Wild Woman Archetype: Using Nature's Wisdom to Heal & Reclaim Your Authentic Self with Maureen Ake, LMFT

In this episode we sit down with Maureen Ake, LMFT, to explore the Wild Woman archetype ~ who she really is, how she lives in all of us, and what it looks like to reclaim her. From Maureen's own initiation of getting pregnant the day after being accepted into her master's program, to the deeply healing work she facilitates in women's groups and retreats, this conversation weaves together themes of authenticity, sovereignty, nature, community, and embodiment. This episode is part of our ongoing series on nature's role in healing and cultivating mind-body-soul wellbeing.

Who Is the Wild Woman, Really? She's not feral or chaotic. The Wild Woman is creative, intuitive, boundaried, compassionate, and sovereign. She understands the cycles and seasonality of life and doesn't apologize for simply existing. Think of the plant that leans toward the sun without asking permission — that is her. Tune into the episode to unleash her full essence.
