This week on Your Healing Playground, I’m joined by Dominique Debroux to explore the new documentary WISE WOMEN — Humanity’s Untold Origins and its provocative reframing of menopause, aging, feminine wisdom, and women’s leadership.
What if the qualities historically dismissed as “too emotional,” intuitive, spiritual, or even abnormal contain another kind of intelligence we are only beginning to understand?
