Ep. 246 - The Space Between Mother & Crone: Deepening Female Relationships

Send us Fan MailEpisode 246 is a deeply nourishing and expansive conversation that speaks to the heart of what it means to be a woman in relationship, with yourself, with others, and with life itself. Host Andrea Atherton is joined by Elizabeth Makepeace for an honest, soulful dialogue about the importance of female friendships across all stages of life. Together, they explore the often unseen weight women carry, the emotional labor, family responsibilities, and the quiet overwhelm that can leave little space for connection. They also touch on the complexities that can arise in partnerships, including moments of jealousy or misunderstanding when women begin to prioritize these meaningful connections with one another.As the conversation unfolds, Andrea and Elizabeth offer a refreshing and empowering perspective on women over 50, reframing this chapter not as a limitation but as a profound opening into freedom, self-trust, and deeper alignment. They introduce the powerful “Queen” or “Sovereign” phase of life, the space between the Mother and the Crone—where women begin to reclaim themselves after years of caregiving and responsibility. This phase invites a shift from overgiving to self-honoring, from obligation to truth. They also share their personal journeys of finding love later in life, revealing how meeting their soulmates after 50 became a reflection of the inner work, growth, and clarity they had cultivated over time. There is a grounded wisdom woven throughout this episode, a reminder that when we release urgency and lean into trust, life often meets us in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.Elizabeth also shares her recent experience attending a women’s festival in Australia surrounded by 2,000 women, describing the palpable magic, safety, and healing that emerges in a truly supported feminine space. This episode invites you into that same energy—where connection replaces comparison, and authenticity is not only welcomed but celebrated. For the women you guide and serve, this conversation becomes an opening into deeper relationships, more spacious living, and a renewed sense of possibility. It is a reminder that this season of life is not an ending, but a becoming—where love, belonging, and personal truth can finally take center stage.Elizabeth Makepeace www.elizabethelenor.comhttps://www.elizabethelenor.com/chakraforbusypeople30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton  Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/
