From Reviving Ophelia to a Life in Light: Growing Happier as We Age With Mary Pipher

Mary Pipher revolutionized our understanding of adolescent girls with her best-selling book Reviving Ophelia. Since then, Mary has been writing about the skills women need to thrive across their lifespans. Drawing from her own experiences and her extensive work, including 'Letters to a Young Therapist' and 'Women Rowing North,' Pipher discusses the impact of cultural contexts on individuals, the necessity of self-discovery, and how to find rest amidst a midlife meltdown. She also encourages friendship, intention, and gratitude to cultivate happiness, illustrating that it's never too late to develop these life-coping skills.Related Resources Get enhanced show notes for this episode Subscribe to my free Wise Effort newsletter.
