38: Embracing Crone Archetype and Creativity After 50 with Tara Stoughtenborough
About this episode
You’re never too old to begin again—and Tara Stoughtenborough is living proof.
At 83, Tara shares her incredible journey of launching a PR firm at 49, publishing over 60 romance novels in her 60s, and enrolling in Ayurveda school at 80. She embodies the sacred archetypes of maiden, mother, and crone with enthusiasm, wisdom, and an ever-curious heart. Lisa Marie Rankin and Tara explore feminine magic, radical responsibility, trusting the unknown, and the power of enthusiasm as divine energy.
Tara’s story reminds us that creative reinvention is available at every stage of life. Whether you're starting over or starting something new, the path is always open when you lead with intuition and trust in a benevolent universe.
