Welcome to this episode of Yaga Speaks, where we explore the powerful, raw, and often painful cycle of death and rebirth in our personal lives. Today, I open up about what it means to face radical life transitions—especially as we age—and how to turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.
From surviving the loss of a long-term relationship and my mother within the same week, to overcoming burnout, changing careers multiple times, and rediscovering my voice and purpose in my 50s—this is my story of falling apart and finding freedom.
If you’re a woman navigating life after 50, dealing with grief, starting over, or simply feeling lost in transition, this video is for you. We dive into the emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of midlife transformation—not from a place of theory, but lived experience.
You’ll learn:
Why change gets harder as we get older—and why we must embrace it anyway
The spiritual importance of grief, loss, and letting go
How to hear your true self again after everything falls apart
Why connecting with your inner child is key to remembering your deepest desires
The role of nature, solitude, and sisterhood in the healing process
How to take the first small step toward your dream—even when it feels impossible
✨ This episode is an invitation to reflect, realign, and reclaim your voice. It's a reminder that it's never too late to begin again. Even if life brings you to your knees, there is always a way forward—and often, it's more beautiful than what you left behind.

I draw inspiration from the Slavic crone goddess Baba Yaga—wild, wise, and untamed. Her myth teaches us how to live authentically, without apology, in our mature years. Inside the Sisters of Yaga, I share teachings and tools to help you live as your fullest, truest self.
