About

At 59, I gave myself a sacred assignment: right-size my life by the time I turned 60. I wasn’t looking to shrink — I was looking to realign. That meant saying yes to joy, curiosity, radical honesty, slow mornings, unexpected adventures, and showing up for myself — not the version of me the world always preferred: quieter, smaller, less visible.

Spoiler: she’s gone.

I’m here now, fully and brightly. Crone. Witch. Wordsmith. Truth-teller. Woman of wonder. And I’ve never felt more me.

The path from people-pleasing to personal power isn’t a straight line. In spring 2024, a simple holiday turned into a spirit-led pilgrimage. It all started at a retreat in Tuscany. There, during a creative ritual, I pulled an oracle card that landed like a thunderclap: the BUFFALO. Spirit’s way of reminding me to claim my bigness, strength, and sacred presence. To stop apologizing for taking up space, and instead root myself in the wisdom of a woman who’s lived, learned, and risen.

From that grounded place, Crone Rising was born. What started as a whisper of an idea — a newsletter — has grown into a weekly podcast where I sit with extraordinary women “of an age” and ask the question: how do you stay relevant in a world that wants you invisible? These conversations are fierce, funny, vulnerable, and full of inspirational gold.

I’m also writing more — short stories, musings, and metaphorical love letters to the lives we’re meant to live. Some of it shows up in my Substack, Lessons in a Good Life, where I explore slow living, creative therapy, lunar cycles, spiritual rebellion, and being joyfully, unapologetically over 60. Yes, I danced on bar tables in the '80s — and I still drive fast, sing off-key, walk barefoot wherever possible, challenge authority, dismantle outdated norms with words sharper than any blade, and question everything from beauty standards to capitalism before I’ve even had my tea.

My Substack explores five ongoing themes:

• Slow + Sacred: Leaning into rhythm, rest, and ritual.

• Life Lab: Curious experiments in aging with grace and grit.

• Crone Rising: Feminist frameworks, elder wisdom, and visibility.

• Creative Therapy: Gratitude, photography, storytelling, and the art of showing up.

• Spilled Ink: Memoir fragments, true stories (some raw, some hilarious), and the practice of writing my way home.

This is the life I’m building now: one rooted in sovereignty, spiritual alignment, beauty, and boldness. I hope it inspires you to do the same. Because the Divine Feminine isn’t a trend—it’s a return. A remembering. A rebellion. And the Crone is rising.

Welcome to the circle.
