Who Are You Beyond the Roles You Play for Others?

Woman Uncaged

Welcome to the 12th episode of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode, Laura and Linda dive into the feminine archetypes that are missing in our patriarchal culture and how that plays into defining ourselves beyond the roles we play for others.
We explore and discuss:
- The feminine archetypes that have gone missing, using Toni Wolff's structural forms of the feminine psyche (Mother, Amazon, Companion, Wise Woman) as a jumping off point
- Aspects of womanhood are celebrated and those that are denigrated
- How to welcome the archetypes or energies in ourselves that are typically not welcomed in the greater culture
- What it means, and looks like, to define ourselves beyond the roles that we play for others, such as wife, mother, friend, teacher, etc. (which is harder than it sounds!)
- Both Laura and Linda share the first step they would offer a client who is beginning to define herself beyond solely her relationships
- Tracking what archetypal energy is emerging and which one(s) might be a bit worn out!
