great storyteller

I have listened to the presentation about the creative process dozens of time. I always learned something new each time I listen to iy.

Fills the soul

She’s so descriptive and lovely and I think I will probably listen to it again to fully take it all in.
I’m grateful for this work to be in existence.

Loved it! Great storyteller and creative spirit.

Her voice is soothing and reassuring. She's an amazing and beautiful soul with a lot to teach this world

Love Dr. Estes

This is the second book by Dr. Estes that I have bought as an audiobook. The other is The Late Bloomer, which was also profound and interesting. I love her intelligent interpretation of the stories and their meanings about our creativity. They just make sense deep inside. She speaks both like an old friend and a wise teacher.

My new favorite book.

This is one of my favorite books by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Her narrative is impeccable, filled with passion and content. I wish it was a longer book though, to keep listening. I really enjoyed it and couldn't recommend enough.
