Just a quick one to let you know that Monday’s The Shift Bookclub Live with
, author of Hagitude, and this month’s bookclub pick, Wise Women, myths and stories for midlife and beyond, is now available for you to watch on catch up.We talked about all things fairytale and folklore including why older women are stereotyped as mad, bad and ugly, when they’re more likely to be wise, resourceful and embracing reinvention; reclaiming the stories we’re told from an early age; why midlife is such an alchemical moment; the powerful matriarchs who shaped her (and why 21st century western society seems hell-bent on erasing them from the narrative) and why we all need a council of grandmothers!
