Today my guest is Sara Avant Stover, a teacher of feminine spirituality and empowerment, and bestselling author & founder of The Way of the Happy Woman.

Sara graduated from Columbia University’s all-women’s school, Barnard College. After a cancer scare in her early twenties, Sara moved to Thailand, where she lived for ten years and embarked on a decade-long healing and spiritual odyssey throughout Asia. She has since gone on to uplift tens of thousands of women worldwide.

A pioneer in contemporary women’s work, she’s the creator of the world’s first Women’s Yoga Teacher Training, Reversing Our “Curse,” and The SHE School. Her new book: The Book of SHE: Your Heroine’s Journey into the Heart of Feminine Power celebrates all that it means to be a woman, from mythological underpinnings to the cycles of our day-to-day lives.

In today’s episode, Sara and I spoke about:

• Rhythm – it’s significance and power for women
• The Heroine’s Journey vs. The Hero’s Journey
• Her 5 steps of the Heroine’s Journey
• Archetypes and the importance of the Crone
• Learning how to navigate through “darkness” and how to “Turn on Your Brights”
• The Homecoming

Here is my  conversation “Living the Heroine’s Journey” with the wise and powerful Sara Avant Stover.
