When the Wolves Came Home
In 1995, scientists reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park after a 70-year absence. What happened next stunned everyone: rivers changed course, forests regenerated, and the entire ecosystem transformed. The wolves didn't just survive-they restored balance to a broken system. This is the metaphor that drives one of the most powerful leadership manifestos of our generation, born from a commencement speech that went viral and became a rallying cry for women everywhere. The message is simple yet revolutionary: women aren't Little Red Riding Hood, afraid of the big bad wolf. We are the wolves. And when we run together, we change everything. Think about the stories we feed little girls. Stay on the path. Don't talk to strangers. Keep your voice down. Be grateful for what you're given. These aren't just fairy tales-they're instructions for staying small, staying safe, staying controllable. But what if the most dangerous thing isn't the wolf in the woods? What if it's the path itself, keeping you from discovering who you really are?
