This is our Book Club episode where we discuss a chapter from our current book choice: Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes. In this episode, we discuss chapter 13 “Battle Scars: membership in the scar clan”.Summary:This chapter is an exploration of shame and focuses on the pain of keeping secrets bottled up and on the powerful healing that can come from sharing our secrets with a trusted person, so we can move from isolation to becoming a member of the scar clan.
