Untie the Strong Woman

Blessed Mother's Immaculate Love for the Wild Soul

Narrado por: Clarissa Pinkola Estés PhD

"There is a promise Holy Mother makes to us," explains Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, "that any soul needing comfort, vision, guidance or strength, can cry out to her, flee to her protection, and Blessed Mother will immediately arrive with veils flying. She will place us under her mantle for refuge, and give us the warmth of her most compassionate touch, and strong guidance about how to go by the soul's lights." Untie the Strong Woman is Dr. Estes' invitation to come together under the shelter of The Mother - whether she appears to us as the Madonna, Our Lady of Guadalupe, or any one of her countless guises.

Beautiful. I am happy the author narrated.

I thoroughly enjoyed your research. may our Mother remain in your spirit. Thank you from a new fan.

Perfect Timing

I am marveling at the chain of events that lead me to this book and feeling so grateful. As a young parent of five children and wife of an often deployed husband, I turned to the comfort and compassion of Mary intuitively. As life got “easier” when they grew older and more independent, I am guilty of “forgetting” she was always there. I recently felt this longing to re-establish that connection but, aside from regular prayer,wasn’t sure how to really feel that connection. Through meditation I was led to Dr Estés and am so grateful.
I listened to two other books before this one - and have grown to love her and her storytelling very quickly! Something magical about it if you are open to it. Highly
Highly recommend.

Life Changing

I was a little sad when it ended. I just kept wanting to listen to more stories of the Holy Mother. This book has been an incredible help to me as I have tumbled and tossed my way toward the Great Mother. Thank you Clarissa Pinkola Estés for more life changing stories.

Love at its Purest

I felt my vibration rise from the first chapter of this book. Clarissa’s stories, her love, appreciation for life and way of speaking reached deep into my soul and lifted me to a place of higher love and compassion. I am grateful this book called out to me.

Wept at the way she conveys devotion

Poetic devotional in remembering the power of The Mother that is everywhere. Her ancestral roots of connection and detailed story telling really helped me encompass and comprehend the deep layers and fierce context of the mothers love.

Passionate words of Faith!

I am new to Dr. Pinkola Estes and now quickly becoming a big Fan of her words of faith.

Life changing

The message of this book is powerful to begin with, but getting to hear it in the voice of its author, master healer, mythologist and storyteller CPE is a special experience I feel blessed to have received.

 Enchanting

I can’t love this book enough. The authors narration style is so soothing as well. Thank you for writing it.

CPE Reads, and will swaddle you in love

Would you listen to Untie the Strong Woman again? Why?

I've listened several times already. There's so much more being said in this book than the words would lead us to believe. Each time I listen, I am allowed to drop into a deeper layer of understanding.

What does Clarissa Pinkola Estes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice. CPE's voice, her slight accent, the way we are allowed to hear words form in her mouth, the way she laughs, and lets you feel as though you *could* be listening to your grandmother telling her own stories - this reading of Untie the Strong Woman is a Soul-balm, soothing, comforting and captivating.

Any additional comments?

I only gave 4 stars for the reading because it is a bit soft - which may be an enhancement, lending to the atmosphere if you can listen in an quiet environment. For me, in my car, or at the computer in the office, it's a bit tricky to get the volume balanced.

Highly Recommend

I love Dr. Pinkola Estés' natural narration style! The story gets a little repetitive at times, almost as if it were written for a podcast or radio series, but overall is still vital, especially for the current social climate.
