Listen "Crossing a threshold and the alchemical shift of menopause with Stacy Vajta, the Feisty Crone"
Episode Synopsis
I’m delighted to share this conversation with Stacy Vajta on the Sage + Siren podcast. By chance, I read The Creative Threshold: Returning to What’s Natural by Stacy on Substack. From my late fifties, and as I turned 60, I’d been experiencing a nudge that I called now or never. Stacy spoke of this too. She mentioned the same words I’d been writing in my journals as I experienced this unexpected transformation in my life. Stacy calls it an alchemical shift and refers to menopause as a threshold.Artist, creative and community guide, Stacy is on a quest to live with purpose and joy, and to help others do the same. In Stacy I found a kindred spirit. We spoke about life getting better at 60, listening to our inner voice, and the importance of creativity to reconnect to our self. I especially love Stacy’s words about the healing power of art. Last year, the shift I experienced took me by surprise. It was so different to what I learned about menopause over the years. Stacy and I talk about this, the legacy we would like to create in the world, how pursuing goals changes at 60, and the need for community. I loved our conversation and hope you will too.Where To Find Stacy* Sacred Art and Story (website)* The Feisty Crone (Substack)* Instagram* YouTube* PinterestWe mentioned …* Sharon Blackie, Hagitude* Joseph Campbell, The Hero’s Journey* Justine Gaubert, Crone Club* David Hawkins, Map of Consciousness* Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run with the Wolves* Bonnie Horrigan, Red Moon Passage* The Red SchoolBe My GuestIf you would like to join me on the podcast as a guest, please get in touch.
