Publisher's summary

Where is the memory of who we really are, who sent us here, and what our work is here? And why so often are we feeling unusual, so different, so eccentric, so belonging to a tribe of one? Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, published in 34 languages and one of the most far-reaching artist-psychoanalyists of our time, teaches that in archetypal imagination, "Mother Night is the quintessential medial woman, the woman who can walk in two worlds... 'the one who knows' and who can reveal solid ways of living and unleashing creative life in both worlds."

Warm, rich, loving voice of Clarissa

It is a real pleasure to hear Clarissa Pinkola Estes reading her own work. What woman doesn't love "Women Who Run With the Wolves"? And this is a smaller piece. A story about creativity, night and dreams and the unconscious. In a culture obsessed with the outer world of things and money and the impression we make on others, it is soothing and reaffirming to hear Clarissa talk about these inner places from which all the outer world grows. As always she is standing up for each of us to be ourselves and express our own uniqueness. I love to listen to this before I go to sleep at night because it is so soothing. I like to listen to this in the morning when I wake up because it inspires me to make the day my own.

Absolutely a life changing

All the stories and knowing my soul needed to hear! Clarissa Pinkola Estés is pure wisdom and magic. I laughed, I cried, I wrote down all the wisdom that felt so true.

One of the best audiobooks out there

Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes is an amazing storyteller and narrator. Her voice is so soothing for your ears and soul. I have a hard time finding books narrated by women. I notice how much I am bombarded by men's voices and am glad to always find a stellar book by CPE. If you like this book you might also like Braiding Sweetgrass.

CPE is ever-luminous

I love listening to this wise, heartfelt woman...such a divine guide on life’s journey!

Her words alone get 5 stars. Overall flow of content seemed less cohesive & I got a little lost in the Q&A but Dr. Estes has so many beautiful gems to share-definitely worth the listen!
