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.

EPISODE 008 | Judy Azzopardi: There’s No Crying in the Boardroom (But There Is Wine at Book Club)
In this candid and richly layered conversation, Judy Azzopardi reflects on what it means to remain relevant after a lifetime of corporate hustle, family roles, and personal reinvention. At 70, Judy is still working in real estate, still growing, and still defying the cultural expectations that women should fade quietly into the background. We talk about the hard-won wisdom of climbing the corporate ladder, stepping back to care for family, re-entering the workforce, and rebuilding a deeply connected life rooted in friendships and fun. With wit and wisdom, Judy reminds us: relevance isn't something you're granted — it's something you claim.
Key Topics Covered
- Redefining relevance at 70 and beyond
- Life after corporate leadership and burnout
- Navigating visibility and boundaries as a mother of adult children
- Building a community from scratch in a new town
- Reinvention after divorce and job transition
- Why female friendships are foundational — not optional
- Packing light, traveling boldly, and saying yes to new experiences
- Why fun, education, or meaning must be present — or it’s a no
After you listen to the podcast, answer this: Who am I now? Whether it's after a job change, a family transition, or just a new season of life — Judy’s story is a powerful reminder that reinvention can begin at any age. What part of your identity are you ready to reclaim or rediscover?
