41: Embracing Creativity and Healing Through the Muse Archetype with Anastasia Forrest

What if your shadow was the source of your superpower?This conversation reimagines the dragon not as a beast to conquer, but as a powerful ally in feminine transformation. Lisa explores how modern romantasy heroines like Daenerys Targaryen and Violet Sorrengail bond with their dragons to awaken hidden gifts, access shadow magic, and claim sacred feminine power. Drawing on Jungian psychology, myth, and archetypes, she invites listeners to consider what it truly means to become dragon worthy.By turning inward and integrating repressed instincts like rage, desire, and creative fire, women reclaim their full selves. The dragon becomes a symbol of strength, sovereignty, and soul-aligned courage, reminding us we don’t need to slay anything, only ride it home.Topics discussed in this episode:* dragon symbolism* feminine power* heroine’s journey* Jungian psychology* shadow work* divine feminine* romantasyConnect with Lisa:Substack: This Enchanted LifeBook: The Goddess SolutionInstagram: @lisamarierankinWebsite: lisamarierankin.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts:If your inner feminine is connecting with the Goddess School podcast, I’d love to hear from you.
