Uncaging Cronehood: Redefining Aging for Ourselves

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to episode 2 of season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this episode Laura and Linda dive into uncaged cronehood, that developmental stage in a woman's life that occurs between midlife and elderhood. Often misunderstood, pathologized, or entirely ignored societally, we explore another possibility for this phase of life. What if it is an opportunity for women to uncage themselves more fully? To unhook from the collective culture so that we can do more of our work outside of the dominant patriarchal paradigm? To step out of performance and step into presence? This time of life is often framed as one solely of loss; but if we turn towards ourselves and one another, it can be one of tremendous growth, joy, and courage. When there are fewer cultural expectations, we truly get to make it our own. Resources: The Joy Thermometer Episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/episodes/14612200Poet Andrea Gibson: https://andreagibson.org/Feel the Fear...and Do It Anyway: https://susanjeffers.com/books/feel-the-fear-and-do-it-anyway-revised-and-updated/Support the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
