This week’s Crone Rising episode is a solo reflection — a conversation between you and me, rooted in what I learned from three powerful women: Robin Blackburn, Catherine Taylor, and Mary Elizabeth Babcock.

Each of them gave me something I didn’t expect:

A permission slip.

To dance in the chaos.
To stop waging war on my body.
To choose truth over pleasing.

And now I’m offering one to you.

Because we’re not done becoming.
We’re just getting warmed up.

Key Topics Covered:

• Becoming as a lifelong practice
• Joy, sovereignty, and service as acts of resistance
• Crone wisdom as integration, not conclusion
• The sacredness of asking “what feels true now?”
• Women as living permission slips for one another
• Healing through honest storytelling

After you listen to the podcast, answer this: What permission slip do you need right now? Write it. Speak it. Share it. You don’t need to wait for someone to hand it to you — but if it helps, borrow mine.
