Awakening the Sacred Feminine: A Journey Worth Reading

A traditional-style painting of a serene woman standing in a sunlit forest with her eyes closed and hands over her heart, where a glowing golden spiral radiates. She wears a light dress, and wildflowers and tall trees surround her in a peaceful, natural setting. The scene evokes inner awakening, spiritual connection, and feminine empowerment.

What happens when a woman begins to question the roles she’s been handed—and dares to seek something deeper? In The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, Sue Monk Kidd offers a deeply personal account of that awakening. It’s a courageous, often uncomfortable, but ultimately empowering journey into a new way of seeing the self, spirituality, and the sacred feminine.

If you’ve ever felt confined by traditional expectations or longed for a spirituality that speaks to the wholeness of your experience as a woman, this book may resonate deeply.

I’ve written a full review exploring the themes of feminine empowerment, spiritual reimagining, and inner authority. You can read it here:

Book Review: The Genius Myth

An open book lies on the forest floor, evoking themes of myth, inner wisdom, and cosmic guidance—concepts central to The Genius Myth by Michael Meade

Michael Meade’s The Genius Myth reclaims the ancient view of genius as a soulful, guiding force within each of us. Drawing on myth, depth psychology, and storytelling, Meade invites readers to reframe struggle as initiation and reconnect with their unique gifts. A rich and poetic read for anyone seeking authenticity, purpose, and a deeper way of being in the world.
