What if being the villain is exactly what your soul has been craving?

When women deny their darker impulses—rage, desire, ruthlessness—they often lose access to their deepest power. This episode invites you to reclaim the “dark queen” archetype, shedding the mask of the pleasing princess and exploring myths, modern stories, and lived experience to illuminate what happens when we unlock the full spectrum of feminine power. Through guided reflection, storytelling, and sacred teachings, you'll discover why embracing the villain may be the most sacred act of self-love.

Reclaiming your inner dark queen isn’t about destruction—it’s about discernment, sovereignty, and wholeness. Because to be the hero of your own mythic life, you may need to be the villain in someone else's.
