- Stuff of Life - Part 1
Inspired by listener email, we talk about what to do with all the “stuff” we acquire through our lives. The stuff we cherish, the stuff that anchors us and the stuff that holds the memories of those we love.
We don’t have all the answers, we want to hear from you! Send us your thoughts at https://cronecast.ca/contact.

Don’t die before you’re dead. Others might say it’s time to get out of the way to make space for someone younger, but not us. We crones can support younger generations and keep living our own lives to the fullest.

24 min - Falling Down
Falling down hurts - literally and figuratively. It hurts the body, it hurts one’s dignity, and it reveals our total lack of control over the world around us. Come compare bruises, metaphorical and real.

Come with us as we discuss our relationship to the words that describe older women and delve into the nuance of defining oneself in a world that tries to judge us as all good or all bad: The wise woman vs. the terrible mother.
