About this listen

The Late Bloomer is the fourth volume of the Dangerous Old Woman Series with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

"What makes talent bloom? Ask what makes a tree blossom. They are the same. It is not unfathomable. It only takes concentration. Concentration of energies is what makes a tree flower. Not bigger, not faster, not taking up more space. Rather, less space. Density. Pressure in hard places. Often, in the dark. Relentlessly. Freely. For as long as it takes. Hold faith, a gestation can go long and for good reason, and nothing much shows above ground. But then, one day..." - Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD

Are you waiting for New Life, for your talents to bloom? With The Late Bloomer, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes presents volume four of her masterwork on the Wise Woman archetype, bringing you six sessions of origial tales, stories from her ethnic families, poems, blessings, and psychological commentary exploring the cycles of "burgeoning, blooming New Life."

Dr CPE is such an amazing story teller. Really good stories to give you a new perspective on how important it is to stay true to your heart and soul and not sway to others desires and attitudes, on greif, pain, bitterness and why it is so important to not let them rule our lives so that we can learn and grow from this, setting boundries for yourself. Her stories, as always enjoyable and poignant with her comforting vocalisation. This series is a great follow up if you've read or listened to She who runs with Wolves.
She is like the wise woman, mother, grandmother you would love to sit by the fire drinking warm cider, listening to her tell her stories. She helps you understand so much of what you may of gone through in life and why it is important to keep moving forward and passing your lessons to people who come across your path need it.
I highly recommend this book to every single woman and girls out there ♥️

Such an amazing book for woman who want to grow

If you are familiar with her work then you will understand what a treat you have inside for you listening to her telling her own tales and then interpreting them with as much poetry as she imbues her stories with. You will never look at the emperors new clothes the same way! This is what audio books are made for

Beautiful
