About the book
Author: Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Year: 1992
Publisher: Ballantine Books

In this mythic, soul-stirring episode, Jack and Liv delve into *Women Who Run with the Wolves*, Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ landmark work blending Jungian psychology, oral storytelling, and cultural myth. Estés invites us to rediscover the “wild woman”—a fierce, instinctual inner presence too often silenced by modern life. Through fairy tales like Bluebeard, The Red Shoes, and The Handless Maiden, she maps out a spiritual and psychological journey of loss, rediscovery, and power.

We unpack themes of intuition, boundary-setting, sacred sexuality, creative anger, and psychic endurance. Whether you’re drawn to creative healing, deeper relationships, or ancestral wisdom, Estés’ timeless book reminds you that the wild self isn’t lost—it’s waiting to be remembered.
