Dr Sharon Blackie: How Fairy tales hold the key to Midlife Reinvention
Manage episode 444622301 series 3590348
What might the second half of women's lives look like if we rooted ourselves in positive stories about wise older women? On this episode Eleanor explores myths and fairy tales with psychotherapist and academic, Sharon Blackie.
As Sharon argues: "I'd always had a deep rooted belief that fairy tales really work on us – the imagery in them, the archetypal characters – and help us to see how it might be possible to reimagine ourselves."
Sharon's books – including her latest 'Wise Women' – bring together tales of women at midlife and beyond which have been lost - or actively suppressed - over the ages, and show Queenagers some inspiring ways we might think about the second half of our 100-year lives.
