The Five Initiations of Midlife with April Wall

from Wise Women Forward · host Wise Women Forward

In this episode of Wise Women… Forward, we sit down with April Wall, psychic medium, author, tarot and tea leaf reader, and creator of Namaste Magical, for a conversation that walks straight into the mystical, messy, and magnificent terrain of midlife.April is 45, in perimenopause, and very much “in the trenches,” as she puts it. But instead of treating this transition as a medical inconvenience or cultural disappearing act, she sees it as something deeper: a spiritual initiation.Together, we talk about intuition, patriarchy, the rise of women, and the strange, sacred moment when you wake up inside your own life and think: Wait. This cannot possibly be all there is.April names five stages women often move through in midlife: disillusionment, descent, reclamation, reorientation, and embodiment. Which sounds poetic until you remember descent may involve night sweats, 3 a.m. existential dread, and forgetting the word “spatula” while holding one. Transformation is rarely tidy. Shocking, we know.This conversation is for every woman who has felt the old roles stop fitting, who has wondered whether the unraveling might actually be the beginning, and who suspects—quietly or loudly—that menopause is not the end of her power, but the return of it.Link BlockWebsite: http://www.namastemagical.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/namastemagical/Rent Wise Women: bingeable.net/NamastemagicalWise Women movie info: wisewomenmovie.com
