Becoming Your Own Myth: Rewriting Womanhood in the Second Half of Life.
There comes a moment in many women’s lives—quiet or cataclysmic—when the stories we’ve told or been told no longer fit. Roles we played with devotion begin to fray. The pace we’ve kept becomes unsustainable. And the questions we once ignored now rise with urgency: Who am I, really, when I am no longer who I’ve been?
This is not a breakdown. It is the beginning of myth-making.
Understanding the Mother Archetype in Menopause
One of the most profound shifts in a woman’s life occurs during (peri)menopause(post)—a transitional period that signals the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. The Mother archetype, traditionally associated with fertility, nurturing, and generativity, undergoes a profound transformation during this phase. To understand this shift from a Jungian perspective, it’s essential to explore how the Mother archetype manifests, both in its light and shadow, during (peri)menopause(post).
Embracing The Triple Goddess in (Peri)Menopause(Post)
By engaging with the energies of the Maiden’s curiosity, the Mother’s creativity, and the Crone’s profound insight, women can reclaim parts of themselves that may have been overshadowed by societal expectations or life’s demands.
Rediscovering the Maiden in You
The Maiden archetype often gets relegated to a youthful, naïve part of ourselves—a phase we outgrow as we journey into the responsibilities and complexities of adulthood. But as women navigate (peri)menopause(post), we often find ourselve drawn back to their Maiden selves, not as a nostalgic longing for youth, but as a deeper understanding of what she represents.
