I’m honoured to have been interviewed for the 100th episode of Women In Depth with Lourdes Viado!  Please copy/paste the link and hear the podcast interview for free (the Women In Depth series is also on the podcast app). It is entitled: Rediscovering the Wild Woman Archetype.

Here is one of the citations from the interview:

“[The wild woman archetype] is just one of these things that doesn’t necessarily want to be defined in a fixed and rigid role that we can hang a definition off of in a really clear way and that is part of the nature of the wild woman archetype. It just defies containment…the soul itself is just so wild and expansive, it doesn’t want to be caged in by a fixed definition. Nevertheless, we have to talk about these things and we have language and art and poetry in order to do that. So in the most simplistic form where I’ve kind of landed, it is representative of the human soul that is embodied. So different than say psyche, the Greek word for soul, it stays with the body, where psyche, in the tale of Eros and Psyche, she goes off with her wings to Olympus and Eros and she doesn’t stay in her human form, she becomes a goddess. The wild woman stays in her human form, she stays with her body. So it’s more connected to the instinctual realm and to the embodiment and the lived reality of the here and now…”
