Welcome to the first episode of As You Are!
This is a really great discussion. Thank you for starting it. This is a great start of peeling the onion back of many sub-topics here.
I have been researching the seasons of the cyclical nature of women for the last 5 years.
As you talk about we (women) have life phases.
I see them as archetypes and actual seasonal connections
Maiden phase- Spring- menarche to young 20's
Mother phase- Summer- 20's-30's whether you have children or not you will experience the qualities of this phase.
Wild Woman- Autumn- around 40-50's
Wise Woman-Winter phase- post menopause 50's and beyond.
So interesting to read your perspective Jess. Love the cycles as you characterise them. Beautiful! And yes, we need many more conversations and perspective shifts around this idea. Brilliant you’ve been researching and spending time with it. xWhit
