Jungian analyst, author, and podcaster Lisa Marchiano returns to Begin Again to discuss her latest book, Vital Spark: Reclaim Your Outlaw Energies and Find Your Feminine Fire. In this lively conversation, we discuss:
My experience of the book as a process
What is the vital spark and how we know we lost connection to it
Lilith, the feminine shadow and feminine wholeness
Shrewdness, disagreeableness, trickster, desire, sexuality, rage, authority, ruthlessness, and why we might fear developing our Lilith qualities
Ruthlessness and lying as essential to survival
The problem with innocence
Envy and how to protect yourself from envy attacks
Snow White and mothers who envy their daughters
Bluebeard as the inner predator
Why sexuality is so important for women

💭 I would love to hear from you:
What did you love about this conversation? Was there anything that surprised you? How do you feel about the dark feminine qualities and which ones do you find easy to own? Which ones do you resist?
