Part memoir and part manifesto, The Second Childhood invites us into a more sustainable way of living built on joy, play, freedom, connection, and women's wisdom. Rather than offering a rigid set of rules, it restores our sense of wonder, self-trust, and courage to embrace the unknown. This book is for any woman ready to engage her imagination, write her own story, and experience the magic of living from the inside out. Whether we are mothers or childfree, we will find ourselves in these pages - and discover new ways of relating to the children in our lives, and the child within us. Mothering ourselves and others with presence, safety, and attunement, we transform the patriarchal phenomena of addiction and abuse into peace and joyfulness. Childhood isn't just an age - it's a way of seeing the world that makes life worth living. This is The Second Childhood: not an escape from reality, but a return to the way we were always meant to live.
