Most self-help books – especially those aimed at women – are about telling you what you are doing wrong. How you are not good enough as you are, and you need to follow this method and buy these products in order to redeem yourself. Holistic approaches to self-care get just as caught up in the capitalistic programming as allopathic medicine: take the latest supplement, do more yoga, go on an Ayahuasca retreat, and all will be well. If you are doing all those things, and it’s still not working, it must be your fault.

In her latest book, The Empowered Woman, Kate Magic takes a gentler, and kinder approach, by getting into the basics of our biological needs as women. Knowledge of self is what gives us our power back. When we learn about our hormonal needs, and the differences in male and female hormones, it becomes glaringly obvious where those basic biological needs are not getting met within the societal structures.

Maybe the stress, depression, and relationship issues that we all suffer from as women (no matter how much yoga we do and how much green juice we drink) are a healthy response to an unhealthy environment. What if the wisdom of our bodies is signalling to us that things need to change, and our issues come from not listening to that wisdom? That would mean that we have the power to heed the timeless knowledge that resides deep in our cells, and communicate to those around us, from a profoundly centred place, about what needs to change.

The Empowered Woman is your guidebook to knowing that the answers were within you all along. This is not a quick fix approach, but it is a radical approach. It doesn’t involve taking up any new practices or buying any new products. It doesn’t demand that you leave your husband, neglect your children, or sacrifice your career in order to achieve balance in your life. Within this book are the answers that were in front of you all along, you’ve just been taught to override your natural instincts in order to keep everyone else happy.

Your thoughts and emotions are one of the biggest determinants of how your life is working out for you. Change how you think and feel about yourself, and everything around you has to change. That’s all this book is, a simple but powerful tool to help you see yourself as the Goddess that you were all along.

Whatever stage of your life you are in, this book covers everything about the nitty gritty of womanhood, from periods to pregnancy to post-menopause. It’s the conversation you might only be able to have with one or two of your best friends, but it’s a conversation that needs to be made more public so we can understand the commonality of the issues that we all face as women living in the death throes of patriarchy.
