BOOKS THAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD READ

…”IT IS NECESSARY FOR WOMEN TO REMAIN IN POSSESSION OF ALL THEIR INSTINCTUAL POWERS. SOME OF THESE ARE INSIGHT, INTUITION, ENDURANCE, TENACIOUS LOVING, KEEN SENSING, FAR VISION, ACUTE HEARING, SINGING OVER THE DEAD, INTUITIVE HEALING, AND TENDING TO THEIR OWN CREATIVE FIRES.” — CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTÉS, WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES

I wanted to share some of the books that have guided me along this journey. Some of these have been pivotal instruments in my growth. If you are someone who is longing for depth, ancestral wisdom, guidance or simply want to dive into the magic of life; these are the books I recommend:

Starting with a strong and deeply transformative read — Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. Based on an abundance of wild woman archetypes and ancestral stories, this book is like medicine to the soul. Beautifully written, it will restore and awaken your intuition. This is a thick one, I often took breaks in between my readings to process the depth of information I was downloading. This book will make you feel understood as a woman, in ways you never thought possible. The author has mastered story telling and expressing how women feel into words. A great read no matter what stage in life, the wisdom in this book is invaluable. Many have deemed this “the woman’s bible”, due to its deeply spiritual wisdom.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a book for all plant lovers who yearn to reconnect with Mother Earth. A mix of indigenous knowledge and scientific facts, Kimmerer reminds us that nature has many gifts and messages if we are open to receive them. She shares the ways in which we can create a reciprocal relationship with nature and the land we live on. A beautiful and hopeful book to read in a world of growing disconnect between humanity and nature. An ode to nature itself.

A life changing book about a magical spiritual journey. Simple and easy to read, yet impactful and full of guidance. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a classic. Loved by many as it reminds us of the importance of following your heart and the signs sent by the universe.

A highly underrated, gem of a book — The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. This was such an impactful read for me, I could re-read this and always find something new to learn depending on the season of life I’m in. Short but full of knowledge, perfect for those on a spiritual journey. I have gifted this to people I love many times. A beautiful guide for a spiritual transformation.

Another simple yet powerful read. A transformative and enlightening guide to personal growth. Another classic that should be a staple in every household. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. I could easily re-read this and find new wisdom to apply to my life.
