WISE WOMEN DIARIES
wwd
Wise Women Diaries stories are rooted in shedding victimhood and shame. We take responsibility for our lives and choices. We have the power to turn pain to wisdom, choose our intuition over fear, break generational patterns, and learn how to trust ourselves. This podcast shares a wide variety of lessons from conscious women: how grief and heartbreak helped us evolve, how children are our teachers, and how we can reclaim our power by questioning the mainstream medical paradigm in health, birth, and ’infertility.’ The host Lea, is a Manifestor in Human Design and Aquarius Rising in Astrology, delivering deep, unique perspectives to help women awaken to greater truth in their lives.
