Chapter 1

What Does It Mean To You To Live Your Best Life?

I don’t ask this question flippantly. What would you do if money and time were not an issue? What job or career path would you do if you could make your choices again? Are you yearning for something different?

When we start to step into our Crone Archetype or Wise Woman energy (see page 106), we begin to see life differently. We begin to question our choices and our life path. There’s a reason why most marriages fail for couples in their 50s: the women are waking up to the question is this it?

The Crone teaches us we have a choice, we women are powerful beings, and it’s only until we reach this level of maturity that we start to understand just how powerful we are. Historically, the world has silenced us, tortured us for speaking out, and made us feel like second-class citizens. Who burned witches at the stake? Men, that’s who—because they were scared of the feminine power. We’ve had to hide our true selves, live under the patriarchal system of just keep going, work harder and faster, show no weakness.

When we step into our Crone or Wise Woman Energy, we start seeing our beautiful planet that’s being destroyed, the ways of working that advantage men, that our bodies are going through changes—it makes us mad. Mid-life women are angry.

We need to channel that fire into making ourselves the best version, before old age creeps in.

It’s never too late to make a start.
