She Who Remembers #author Megan Dalla-Camina

She Who Remembers: Awakening feminine wisdom in a world ready for her return

More than the burnout, the endless striving, the quiet ache of disconnection. More than the roles she’s performed, the versions of herself she’s outgrown, the world that taught her she wasn’t enough.

In this tender and timely book, best-selling author, PhD researcher, and feminine wisdom teacher Megan Dalla-Camina guides readers on a profound journey of remembrance. Drawing from decades of leadership work, personal spiritual practice, and academic research in women’s spirituality, she invites us to awaken the inner knowing that has never been lost – only forgotten.

Blending soulful storytelling, cultural reflection, and spiritual insight, She Who Remembers offers a path to reclaim what has always belonged to us: our voice, our power, our truth. Through feminine codes of intuition, embodiment, devotion, presence, and the rhythm of our cycles and seasons, readers are gently guided back to the source of their own innate wisdom. This is not a book of instruction. It’s a book of awakening and initiation. One that reminds us we were never meant to do this alone. That remembering is a collective act.

SPEAKER_00 0:02

It's good morning again. Yay, me and Delicate. Welcome back to Yellow Shelf.

SPEAKER_01 0:09

Thank you. I'm so honored to be invited back. How excited.

SPEAKER_00 0:13

You just keep writing fabulous books. So I instantly want to bring you back to be able to share you with the Yellow Shelf audience. Congratulations. You've written another book. I have. She Who Remembers. Yes. Tell us all about it, Megan. What do we need to know about this one?

SPEAKER_01 0:32

Oh, look, I mean, this is this is, I mean, the subtitle is Awakening Feminine Wisdom in a World Ready for Her Return. And She Who Remembers. Like, this is a really deep journey of feminine wisdom for women. How do we really come back to ourselves, to our intuition, to our own paths as women, and how do we unhook from everything we've been told and taught and projected upon about who we should be and how we should behave and what we should look like? And how do we learn to trust our own inner wisdom and our own inner knowing? It's a very gentle book. It's the smallest book I've written. Really? I really determined to write. I usually write these big books to write this small, gentle but deep journey for women as a guide, you know, as a as a pathway, as a bit of a map, um to come home to ourselves.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

And you know, Megan, I was when I dived into the book, I was thinking about, yeah, like my upbringing, my career journey, how things have been instilled in me, expectations, roles I had, you know, then transitioning into a role of wife or mother, and you know, it's it's it's a really it's really interesting to stop and think about it. And your book does does a perfect job in just center gave me the perfect opportunity to be centered in the consideration around it.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

Yes, I love that. And centering your own journey and your own experience, because so often as women and how we are conditioned is that we're not the center. We're the support, we're the periphery, we're the ones that hold everybody else up. But what happens when you actually center yourself? Yes, what happens when you listen to yourself rather than asking 15 people what their opinion is about you and what you should do and you know what's next and all of the rest of it. So it is this coming back to this um feminine way of knowing, you know, this feminine way of being in the world, which isn't about aesthetics, it's not about how we look, you know, it's about the aspects of ourselves that we've for so many of us suppressed for so long. How do we acknowledge them? How do we tap into the wisdom that we forgot? How do we tap into women's stories to support our journey?

SPEAKER_00 3:15

Yeah. And Megan, do you want to explain why write this book now? Because you have, you know, you have a shelf full of uh, you know, books that you've written, and I guess at different stages throughout your research or throughout your your own journey. Why why now? What was the inspiration?

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Yeah, that's such a great question. I I feel like this is the book for this time.

unknown 3:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:43

You know, I I feel like we are living in a world that is crumbling under its own weight. Yeah. I feel like we are seeing all around us the impacts, like the very real, tangible human impacts of patriarchy, of capitalism, you know, of all of the male, masculine dominated ways of structuring and running the world. And what has been lost in that for centuries is the feminine, and the feminine in all of us, not just in women, and the devaluation of what that feminine brings. And you know, I feel like, and this is my all of my PhD research, like I feel like we are at this point in time where people are starting to wake up and say, no more, no more, but we need a pathway through. Sure. You know, it's one to recognize, and it's another thing to say, okay, well, what does this mean for me? How do I, as a woman, just for my own journey, come back to myself, learn to trust myself, listen to myself, acknowledge and respect myself. And then what happens when we as a collective have that awakening and start walking down that pathway together? Everything will change. That's what I believe. And that's why I think this this book is a very personal journey for women, but it's not only a personal journey, it's also a collective call.

unknown 5:18

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 5:19

Because we need cultural repair. So it's both of those things. And you know, we I think even it, you know, for most women will read this book for themselves and they'll have their own individual journey and don't have the space or the time or the energy or the capacity for the other. But just by doing this work ourselves, yes, we already start to change what the culture looks like. Yeah. So it's both.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Oh, so good. And I guess I wanted to add too from uh just so the audience, you know, really gets a good under. There's lots of story sharing in the book. There's also that idea of cultural reflection uh as well as spiritual insights. So there's it's yeah, a very holistic book in this space.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

Yeah, and it has these beautiful um companion practices that I've put in at the back. So every it's 14 chapters, they're small chapters, and everyone at the back has this companion practice. Because the other thing that I'm seeing and I'm feeling as well in my journey, but I'm seeing with the thousands and thousands of women that I support through my work is this shift from intellectualizing what we know needs to happen to embodying the change that's actually going to let us live the lives and feel in our lives the way that we want to live. So the practices are just these small, beautiful ways of coming into our bodies. Yes, you know, getting to embodiment and bringing it to life. So yeah, very gentle, holistic. Um, it's my favorite book that I've written. I I know it's like children's.

SPEAKER_00 7:02

I'm not gonna pick your favorite because I love I love so many of your books. But um, that's wonderful to hear. That is really because you know, I hope people are watching or listening to this and just dive into it.

SPEAKER_01 7:14

I hope so too. I um I I feel like it is yeah, a gentle gift. Yes, is what I hope. That's how I hope it's I hope it's received. A gentle gift for women's journeys.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

Yeah. Megan, uh, tell me or share with us if if anyone's watching or listening and they want to connect with you, um, I follow you on Instagram and LinkedIn so I know what's what's happening in your world. Uh, but do you want to point us in the direction of where you'd like people to go to get curious?

SPEAKER_01 7:44

Yeah, look, I I mean I love Instagram. I'm a creative, so I love you know, I love that. Um, so Instagram at Megan Delacamina, there's just one of me. Thank goodness, I guess. Um, but and uh we share, I share a lot of like the quotes from the book and the content from the book, but also a lot of the behind the scenes, just fun stuff. So, and a lot about books and reading and guide actually on my Instagram. It's a free download. Um, like the top 20 spiritual books every every woman should read. So, yeah, Instagram's where I hang out, and uh MegandalaCamina.com is all the information.

SPEAKER_00 8:21

Look, I'll put that in. I'll also put your website. Um, and I'm gonna put a link into our old interview, the old interview about your previous book, Women Rising. So you can see the journey.

SPEAKER_01 8:32

I love that. Um it's so funny. When I wrote this, and you know, my PhD research is all around feminine wisdom and women's spirituality. Um, I thought, oh, this is a this is a like a bit of a departure. But when I was reading, I I read the audiobook for for she who remembers, and I just got such clarity that this is just the next step in the women rising journey. Like, and I we see a lot of women come from women rising and the women rising program over to my more sort of spiritual feminine wisdom work because they're ready, they've been primed. They're like, okay, I've done that, I've done that work. Yeah, now I'm ready to go on this other journey. So it's been a it's been fascinating for me as well. You know, this.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

Well, congratulations on She Who Remembers. Megan, I know you've got events coming up because I've seen it on your uh Instagram feed. Um, I'll put some links into the show notes. But thank you for for writing and sharing. Wonderful work.
