    EPISODE 022 | Kirsty Spence: What’s Necessary Next

    In this insightful and energizing episode of Crone Rising, scholar-educator Kirsty Spence joins host Lee Currie to explore what it means to live with clarity, curiosity, and a refusal to be invisible. From the lecture hall to life beyond academia, Kirsty shares her reflections on value versus visibility, the art of saying no, and the freedom that comes from relentless discernment — in work, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves. Together, they unpack the liberation of boundaries, the necessity of emotional regulation, and the courage to name injustice without apology. With humour and heart, Kirsty reveals how she’s learning to ask not why me, but what’s necessary next — a question that becomes both compass and ritual in midlife.

    EPISODE 020 | Kathy Clair-Hayes: Triggers, Choice Points, and Showing Up

    Psychotherapist, astrologer, and energy healer Kathy Clair-Hayes reframes relevance as an inside job: power sourced from within, not granted by systems that prefer women invisible. She walks us through energetic grounding, triggers as choice points, and the shift from absorbing others’ pain to holding a spacious field for healing.

A wise, practical conversation about showing up bigger with a calmer system.
