Hildegard von Bingen lived the strict life of a cloistered nun, run to the ground physically by the harsh rules and meager lifestyle of the Benedictine Monks, and she's somehow able to not only survive, but THRIVE.

She writes, composes, and creates works so profound and so important that the whole world takes notice and she's able to ascend to a position of great importance, both inside and outside of the Church. What does she do with this immense power? And how does she accumulate it in the first place? Well, you'll have to listen to find out!
