Episode 8:
Estelle with Scarlett Curtis on Moon Magic, being an Empath and Sigmund Freud.In this episode I talk to feminist activist and writer, Scarlett Curtis. Together we discuss Scarlett’s experience of living with chronic pain as a teenager, how she found strategies for coping including carrying a collection of Sylvanian family animals on her in moments of stress and how Feminism and Virginia Woolf helped to give her life a new purpose in her twenties. Scarlett also describes her more recent profound connection with a spiritual, psychic side to herself which she traces back through her maternal family line – the Freud family. She tells me of the full moon meditations she’s been holding with her family during lockdown and drawing amazing birth charts for her friends.
