Summary: Of all the gifts that come with age, perhaps the greatest is this: as we grow older, we grow more fully into our true identity. This is one of the central lessons that Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés offers in her landmark audio series,The Dangerous Old Woman. As Sounds True’s publisher Tami Simon recorded the second volume, entitled The Power of the Crone, she was deeply moved by Dr. Estés’ gift for encouraging and blessing us to become the wholly unique, one-of-a-kind individual that we were meant to be. In this excerpt, Dr. Estés talks about the essential truths she learned from her eccentric Aunt Edna about the importance of being unreservedly, proudly, and beautifully who you are.
