In this insightful and energizing episode of Crone Rising, scholar-educator Kirsty Spence joins host Lee Currie to explore what it means to live with clarity, curiosity, and a refusal to be invisible. From the lecture hall to life beyond academia, Kirsty shares her reflections on value versus visibility, the art of saying no, and the freedom that comes from relentless discernment — in work, relationships, and the stories we tell ourselves.
Together, they unpack the liberation of boundaries, the necessity of emotional regulation, and the courage to name injustice without apology. With humour and heart, Kirsty reveals how she’s learning to ask not why me, but what’s necessary next — a question that becomes both compass and ritual in midlife.
With warmth, wit, and wisdom, this conversation reminds us that relevance isn’t bestowed — it’s claimed through intention, integrity, and self-trust.
Key Topics Covered:
- The difference between visibility and value
- Boundaries, discernment, and emotional regulation
- People-pleasing recovery and time sovereignty
- Reading for pleasure as a sacred act
- Naming injustice without losing grace
- The Artist’s Way and the power of “what’s necessary next”
- Relentless editing — of spaces, stories, and selves
Once you’ve listened to the episode, reflect on this: Where in your life are you still seeking visibility in spaces that no longer deserve your energy? What would it mean to pivot toward value instead — and take one small, necessary next step that’s entirely your own?
