Holy Crap. I officially enter menopause today. 12 months, baby!

While I’m very excited to see the rollercoaster of perimenopause level out, I also felt the whisper of something else.

Oh. I’m an older woman now.

There it was. That little undercurrent of what we’ve all been taught about women and aging. That our relevance starts to fade. That we should brace ourselves for being overlooked. Because power belongs to the young.

Which is wild, because I have never been more knowledgeable, more powerful, or more in command of myself than I am right now.

Why We’ve Been Taught to Fear This Moment

One of my first mentors was a brilliant, deeply experienced older woman.

But I noticed something. She wasn’t treated the same as the men her age.

She was respected, but she wasn’t the one young associates turned to. The unspoken message? She was here to support, not lead.

Another former boss regularly mourned the long-lost days of her youth, while another embodied the “I Am Woman Hear Me Roar” vibe by berating men and women alike.

In a fight for relevance, I’ve seen women make two choices:

• Keep your mouth shut and your head down.
• Fight back by playing the game exactly like the men.

I reject both.

Because here’s what I know:

The women stepping into their power at this age? They are unstoppable.

Reclaiming Crone Energy (Yes, I Said Crone)

Women are taught to fear aging.

We don’t even like the word Crone, because we’ve been conditioned to believe it means “old, irrelevant, dried up.”

But what if we’re getting it all wrong?

What if Crone isn’t something to avoid, but something to claim?

Because Crone Energy is power.

It’s:

• Learning how to have the tough conversations that younger you would have avoided.
• Defining leadership on your own terms; not in reaction to men, but in service to your values.
• Making decisions from a place of authority instead of approval-seeking.
• Knowing exactly who you are and never again apologizing for it.

We are not here to be the wise woman in the corner, waiting to be sought out.

We are here to be the voice leading out loud.

Why This Matters at Every Age

This isn’t just a conversation for women already in midlife.

If you’re in your 30s-40s:

• Stop fearing menopause. Stop fearing your body changing. Stop fearing that your best years are behind you.
• Your most powerful era is still ahead.
• The leadership skills you build now set the foundation for how you lead at every stage.
• Work with me now, and you won’t spend your 50s and 60s trying to unlearn fear—you’ll be stepping into power.

If you’re in your 50s-60s:

•   You are not obsolete.
•   You don’t have to shrink yourself or play the “respectable” older woman role.
•   You don’t have to quietly offer wisdom only if asked.
•   You are the leader, the decision-maker, the voice.

This is your moment.

Your Leadership Isn’t About Winning. It’s About Impact.

The way you navigate tough conversations, step into leadership, and claim your power impacts everything.

Because what you want? It’s on the other side of the conversations you’ve been avoiding.

That raise?
It’s on the other side of the conversation where you advocate for your worth.

That stronger relationship?
It’s on the other side of the boundary you’ve been scared to set.

That seat at the table?
It’s on the other side of the moment where you stop waiting to be invited and claim your voice.

That more equitable workplace?
It’s on the other side of speaking up when something isn’t right.

That clarity you’ve been craving?
It’s on the other side of finally saying what you mean instead of what’s expected.

Tough conversations aren’t just something to get through.
They’re how you get what you actually want.
