Hello dear friends, and welcome to episode 15 of Conversations With A Couple of Crones. This is our last episode for this year, so we are ending on a high with an Episode called “Celebrating 2025”.

Of course, we started as we always do with our question “Where am I now?”.

You’ll hear Meghan talk about how we are in our Brand sphere in our year-long Golden Path journey, and about this part of the journey means we have boots on the ground! We are putting all that we have learned and uncovered through our Activation and Venus Sequences into our everyday, out-in-the-world lives.

And you’ll hear me (Lizzie) talk about how, despite still feeling pretty tired, I am feeling really excited about life. I had a pretty major breakthrough after our Brand Integration Call last week … but you’ll have to listen to the episode to hear what it was!

You can choose to listen to this episode as a Podcast while you go about your day, or you can grab a cuppa and join us in our video as we chat – just click the film icon on the player below 🎞️

It has been a tradition of mine for almost 30 years to sit with my journal at the end of the year and look back to see what I had done, or what had happened, during that year that I could celebrate, and we thought this would be a fun way to finish our podcasting year.

So, we stared out by asking ourselves …

What Have I Done This Year That I Can Celebrate?

Oh, so many things!

Let’s start with the obvious …

🩵 We are both celebrating our friendship. We both just love that we have made this deep, abiding connection now, while we are in our sixties!

🩵 We are both also celebrating our friendship with Hayley Curtis, and all the women we have connected with because of Devoted and GKU. You know who you are!! So many amazing women have been attracted into Hayley’s circle and they are our friends. 🤯😘🙏🏻

🩵 We are celebrating this Podcast! We’re up to episode 15 and that blows my mind! Me? Who was so afraid to speak in front of other people, and now I’m recording a whole damn hour of talking every other week!! I am so deeply grateful to Meghan for helping me to discover how bloody awesome it is to process my shit, out loud, in real time!!

It is, quite honestly, a miracle!!

🩵 And then of course, there is our wonderful Website, our Cauldron of Crones, which is honestly my favourite website ever! It’s such a lot of fun, to be building this with Meghan. And it is just so amazing to have this home on the internet, where I can put my writing, and where I can share this passion I have for the inner work and for the Gene Keys.

The website has grown exponentially from that idea of Meghan’s that we should “do a blog together”, and it has become this rich resource of amazing material on actually doing this work, whether it’s through the Gene Keys, through journaling, through art journaling, through talking, through contemplation.

We talked a lot about how much EASE there is around both the podcast and the website. Oh, it is so bloody easy to talk to my BFF!!

Internal Shifts Worthy of Celebration

So, those are some of the “external world” things we’re celebrating, and they are huge! They are such monumental shifts for me that I hardly recognise myself.

But they have only been possible because of the internal transformations that have been happening.

We both agreed that the biggest thing we are celebrating is our devotion to the inner work this year.

Devoted has been the most incredible, life-changing, life-affirming, heart-opening, transformational experience. And we have devoted ourselves to it.

(If you would like to hear more about our Devoted journey and about our friendship, once you’ve listened to this podcast, why not check out Episode 7: Soul Friends and Sharing the Journey!!)

I’m not going to tell you any more … you’ll have to listen to our delightful conversation, to hear about all the things we’re celebrating, and why! 🤗

And we finished, as always, with our whimsical questions to each other!

And that’s a wrap for 2025! We’ll be back (very!) early in the New Year with the next episode of Conversations With A Couple of Crones. 🥳

We  would absolutely love it if you would like to share in the comments some of the things you are celebrating about 2025.

PS There will be one or two more articles before the end of the year, and some of these are probably going to elaborate on this theme of “celebration”! 🥳🥳🥳
