In this inspiring episode, we’re joined by author and publisher Kirsten Marion to explore reinvention, aging with grace, and the mindset needed to unlock your creativity—especially later in life. From writing her first book at eight to navigating a career in finance, Kirsten now thrives as the author of The Chic Crone, a novel that reclaims the “crone” archetype and celebrates transformation at every age. We dive into what it means to adopt an author mindset, the sneaky power of self-doubt, and how women can move beyond guilt to fully embrace their creative identity. Whether you’re starting over at 60 or just picking up your pen for the first time, this conversation is your permission slip to leap.
