A podcast from Karen Amy
The Crone Stories
Real women telling the truth about the part of life nobody prepared us for.
The unravelling. The reckoning. The quiet becoming.

We turned crone into an insult.
Somewhere along the way, crone became a word no woman wanted attached to her. But the crone was never the hag in the fairytale. She was the third stage of a woman's life, after maiden and mother. The wise one. The one who had lived enough to stop performing and start telling the truth. The one the whole village came to.
This podcast is for the women claiming that stage on their own terms.

1.
You tell me your story through the form below.
If your story moves me, I reach out.
2.
We sit down together and talk, honestly.
The way you would over a long cup of tea. Then I write your story with care, and you approve every word before anything is recorded.
3.
On the day your episode airs, you return for the three questions.
Whether you use your name is entirely your choice.
Your story deserves to be held, not just broadcast.
Your Story Keeper
I'm Karen.
I have spent years listening to women tell me the truth about their lives, and I noticed how rarely anyone asks for the real story. Not the highlight reel. The real one.
So I started collecting them, like treasure. I sit with each woman privately, I write her story in my own hand, and she holds the final word on every line. That is what a story keeper does.
In love, light and laughter, Karen.
