Who are you calling a Crone?!

So, here goes …

I define 'the Crone' as the Divine Feminine wise woman, who has shifted her focus toward living her life from her innate wisdom & no longer holding back due to her fear-based, Ego overthinking.

This life transition appears to start to kick in as we enter our Menopause cycle & it continues through to old age & death.

Yes, living from your heartful wisdom will change the face of the Crone through the maturing life cycle & the benefits of living in your wisdom will produce different outcomes.

An empty-nester in her 40s, 50s 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s may be seeking to pick up what fell away during the motherhood years, or maybe she wants to completely redefine herself.

A never-nested 40 plus may have had a life of uninterrupted self prioritizing but is now looking to call in her Divine feminine wisdom to reshape & reenergize an outward-focused career & community building life.

Neither are ready for retirement but are also no longer chasing youth.

Her vitality & power is magnetic & mystical as she strengthens her connection to her heartful wisdom at the beginning of her Crone Quest.

This is where I am currently at

Now, for some women, they never 'retire' & continue feeding the Community with the fruits of their wisdom & continue to challenge the status quo well into their 90s

Whilst for other women, the call toward a Crone Wisdom Quest has them in retreat & solitude much earlier than the stereotypical retirement age slow down.

So, for me CRONE is not about strict biological or developmental life stages; our modern world has blurred the lines & extended our lives in ways never seen before.

What the Crone represents is the tapping into our innate heartful wisdom & creating unapologetically authentic lives of fearless compassion & joy. It's all about squeezing every last drop of juice from our lives

It's about rebelling against the youth-obsessed misogynistic society that dismisses or pathologizes the ageing of women.

We all have our own realities so what that looks like for you, for me & others won’t be the same.

Archetypes & Stories are great ... they help us try and describe the formless energetic truth of our existence. But, they cease being useful when we limit our present moment wisdom experience by overthinking labels & definitions.

So when I call women over 40 on a Crone Quest .

I am inviting them to tap into their innate heartful wisdom & create lives free of self-limiting labels.

If this sounds like you ...and you would like to step into your joyful Wisdom, living heartfully in the present moment then you can work with me in my VIP 12-week 1:1 Coaching program
