Connecting with your wild woman is not about becoming louder, braver, or more dramatic.
It is about becoming more honest.
Most women don’t lose their wildness all at once. It happens slowly. Through small compromises. Through choosing what is expected over what is true. Through learning to silence instinct in order to be loved, approved of, or safe.
One day you wake up and realize you are functioning — but not alive.
The wild woman is not gone. She is just unheard.
She lives in the body, not the mind. This is why thinking your way back to her rarely works. You don’t reconnect by fixing yourself, healing faster, or trying harder. You reconnect by listening — to what your body tightens around, what your heart aches for, what your energy pulls away from.
She speaks in sensations.
In the exhaustion that doesn’t go away with rest.
In the grief that appears for no obvious reason.
In the longing you feel when you see open landscapes, storms, music that cracks you open, or words that feel like home.
Connecting with your wild woman often begins in discomfort. She shows up first as restlessness, frustration, or sadness. Not because something is wrong with you, but because something true has been ignored for too long.
She asks difficult questions.
What are you tolerating that is slowly shrinking you?
Where are you performing instead of living?
Who would you be if you stopped explaining yourself?
For me, reconnecting with her meant unlearning the belief that being calm was more valuable than being truthful. It meant letting my emotions exist without immediately analyzing or justifying them. It meant trusting that my longing was not a flaw, but a compass.
Nature helps. Silence helps. Slowness helps.
In the north, where I come from, the land teaches you this quietly. You don’t conquer nature — you meet it. The wild woman responds to the same invitation. She does not want to be controlled or optimized. She wants space.
Time without distraction.
Movement without performance.
Moments where you are not productive, pleasant, or useful.
She returns when you stop asking who you should be and start asking what feels true.
Sometimes reconnecting looks ordinary. Saying no without explanation. Choosing rest over obligation. Wearing what feels like you. Allowing yourself to want something deeply, even if you don’t yet know how to get it.
Sometimes it looks like grief. Letting yourself feel the sadness of what you have outgrown. The relationships, roles, and versions of yourself that no longer fit.
The wild woman does not demand that you destroy your life. She asks that you stop betraying it.
She does not push you to be fearless. She asks you to be present.
When you connect with her, life doesn’t necessarily become easier — but it becomes clearer. You stop abandoning yourself for comfort. You stop negotiating your truth away. You begin to trust your inner knowing, even when it leads you somewhere unfamiliar.
And slowly, without forcing anything, you feel it.
A steadiness.
A groundedness.
A sense of being inside your own skin again.
Connecting with your wild woman is not a destination. It is a relationship. One that deepens every time you choose honesty over approval, depth over numbness, truth over performance.
She has been waiting.
