Crone Rising with Lee Currie
You already know that midlife isn’t the beginning of the end - it’s the start of something powerful. Crone Rising is hosted by Lee Currie, a storyteller, writer, and neopagan witch, bringing you weekly deep dives into the wisdom, magic, and unapologetic truth of life beyond the maiden and mother years, through conversations with guest Crones. Each 15-minute(ish) episode will start with the same question: “How do you maintain your relevance in a society that wants you to be invisible?” with the life experience of each guest informing their answer. If you’re a spiritual seeker, a rebellious soul, or a woman embracing her divine feminine power in midlife and beyond, hit subscribe and join the conversation on aging, transformation, and the mystical path of the Crone.
