As modern culture claims it strives for equality between the sexes, why does our society feel more unequal than ever, especially for women?
This inequality many of us feel stems from the existing patriarchal stranglehold on society that often leaves women competing with men for the very same things, yet feeling unfulfilled emotionally, mentally, spiritually and sexually. How can we begin to change the dynamic between the sexes that celebrates what makes women and men so unique?
Julie Dean Richards weighs in on the work it will take for women to embrace being their best and truest selves and how archetypes and alchemy play major roles in accomplishing it this week on Spirit Gym.
