About

Crone by Design - A Dash of Everything is a podcast that is centered on furthering the discussion on topics that mainstream media might deem taboo or lacking in education around. I approach the topic with an open mind and research to help people have a better understanding and to bring up these subjects in real-life conversations. Such as menstruation, menopause, miscarriages, witchy topics, and other controversial or not as-talked-about topics. My goal is to provide access for people who are willing to learn more about topics to help create a safer, inclusive, and respectful community.
