Happy Spring, Collective Wisdom listeners! In this episode, Lucy is joined by Chelsea Madeline, the brilliant author of In Her Own Right.

Chelsea shares her journey as a writer and community builder — telling us the stories of the women she’s gathered, the family she’s tended, and the words she’s written.

This conversation is about all the ways women can support each other as we create tangible manifestations of our dreams. Chelsea also shares a few poignant passages from her book to draw us deeper into our soul’s work.
