CroneCast

What is CroneCast?

Are you crone curious? Are you an older, wise woman with bewilderingly accurate intuition? Revel in the wisdom, experience and intuition older women offer the world. Trudy Callaghan and Lisa Austin explore the gifts and challenges of being in the second half (third trimester?) of life.
