EPISODE 002 | Robin Blackburn is Writing New Narratives for Women in Midlife

In this radiant opening guest episode of Crone Rising, host Lee Currie welcomes Robin Blackburn - an unapologetic 55 year old debut novelist and content marketer who's joyful energy and fierce authenticity light up the mic. Robin shares her decision to write her first book at 53, driven by her desire to see older women represented on the page. Together, Lee and Robin explore creativity, confidence, and courage in midlife. This conversation is an invitation to trust your timing, honour your voice, and reclaim your story.

Key topics covered:

• The lack of midlife representation in literature and media
• Starting fresh at 53 and staying the course despite doubt
• Family dynamics and the surprise of creative courage
• Visibility, aging unapologetically, and making the best choice for you
