EP08: The Unsettling Thought of Feeling Settled at 60

There it was, in black and white, an email saying: ‘I think women over 60 don’t want to talk about the challenges… they’re mostly settled.’ Not in my world! Do we ever truly feel settled as we age? As we move through our 60s, 70s, and beyond, should we expect to have it all figured out, or is life constantly evolving? In this episode of the Feisty Crone podcast, I share my thoughts on: Why the notion of being settled might not resonate with our generation—those of us who’ve been deeply involved in personal growth and exploration all our lives. How menopause has opened a new chapter of deep inner work, where growth isn’t just inevitable; it’s welcomed. The softer, more gentle approach to growth that feels right at this stage. How to engage with change playfully and without resistance. Tune in as we explore why we’re always evolving, how we can embrace change without fear, and why growth is truly our birthright.

The importance of re-imagining experiences from our current perspective. Empowering stories of embracing new adventures at any age. How to leverage your wisdom and feistiness to live your best life.

EP05: Adulting Reimagined: How to Rock Your Elder Vibe

Adulting versus elderhood. In one corner, we b***h and moan about life's responsibilities. In the other, we realize that adulting isn't just having to go to work and pay taxes but recognizing that our lives gift us the ability to think and choose and integrate our ideas, to live into those ideas in a way we fully embody our lives. And the more we do that, the more we can rock that elder vibe. That's today's topic. Take a listen and discover what it means to embody the energy and presence of 'elderhood' deep into your beliefs so you feel like the wisest person in the room.
