Episode 1 season 7: Nathalie Cordell on Myth and Sensitivity

Remember the story of Sleeping Beauty? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Nathalie Cordell, author of Awaken the Sleeping Queen, for a talk about the archetypes inside us.


“All the characters of the story are inside us, including the prince, the princess, the witch—all of them.”
— Nathalie Cordell

Show Notes:

Do you feel like something’s missing, but you can’t put your finger on exactly what it might be? Are you caught up in pushing, pushing, pushing, always so busy reaching for the next thing that you miss living in the now? Does the idea of getting back to yourself seem like a fairy tale? If so, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t have to be that way. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, licensed clinical professional counselor and certified somatic coach for sensitive women, welcomes Nathalie Cordell, a UK-based self-leadership coach and author of Awaken the Sleeping Queen, for a talk about high sensitivity and reconnecting with your true self. They discuss the parallels between women’s lives and the Sleeping Beauty story, the archetypes inside us, and techniques for awakening your inner princess.
