Why the Crone Was Erased & Why She’s Rising at Work

Something breaks when devotion outpaces reciprocity, and many high-performing women do not realize the cost until the collapse is unavoidable. In this conversation, Alexandra Norris traces her journey from decades of HR leadership into a profound reckoning shaped by codependence, ambition, and identity loss. Together with Amy, she explores how care becomes self-erasure, why boundaries fail where standards succeed, and what emerges when women transition from relentless responsibility into the clarity and authority of crone wisdom. The result is an honest examination of leadership, power, fairness, and the quiet transformation that occurs when women stop managing outcomes and start standing in truth.Key Takeaways:When Success Becomes Self-Abandonment – Understand how high achievement can quietly evolve into emotional and financial overextension.The Hidden Mechanics of Codependence – Learn how belief, loyalty, and knowledge can become traps rather than strengths.Why Boundaries Fail and Standards Hold – Discover a reframing that restores personal agency without control or blame.Fairness Versus Justice in Relationships – Gain a new lens for evaluating partnerships without collapsing into moral absolutes.The Crone as a Leadership Archetype – See how post-caretaking wisdom offers steadiness, truth, and cultural repair.Strategic Culture as Human Alignment – Explore how belief systems, not strategy decks, determine execution and trust.About the Guest:Alexandra Norris has spent 30 years building a successful HR leadership to strategic culture consultant career when everything crashed around her. Now she shares her expertise and lessons learned to (1) help executives reach $10m, $40m, and $100m ARR milestones, (2) help Gen Zers define and navigate their careers in corporate, and (3) help women transition from Mother to Crone.www.linkedin.com/in/alexandraknorrishttps://www.youtube.com/@StrategicCulturePartners-x3www.strategicculturepartners.comhttps://career-navigation-mastery-studio.mn.co/About Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Finding Treasures in the Trash - New Big Things

Finding Treasures in the Trash has always lived between what we hide and what saves us, and this moment marks its most honest turning point yet. Cari Jacobs-Crovetto shares why the show is stepping out on its own and moving to the newly formed Magic Thread Media, a network devoted to weaving conscious voices into business, creativity, and spiritual life. As she reflects on the early episodes, Cari names the deeper work that has quietly emerged: inner truth work. She explores how anxiety, shadow, and disowned parts of ourselves become survival strategies, why truth often freezes in time, and how unexamined insight can slip into self-justification and managed presence.This episode grounds the future of the Finding Treasures in the Trash podcast in coherence and congruence, where nothing essential is pushed away and nothing is performed. This evolution invites you into a deeper relationship with yourself, where the treasure is found only by staying with what once felt unbearable.Key Takeaways:Truth Can’t Be Reached Through Performance – Learn why looking good, being right, and staying safe block real self-truth.Shadow Is Adapted Truth – See how shadow reflects parts of you that learned to survive, not parts that are broken.Why Truth Freezes in Time – Understand how safety, shame, and belonging force parts of us underground.When Insight Turns Performative – Learn how values and spirituality lose depth when disowned parts stay hidden.Coherence and Congruence – Discover the difference between looking aligned and actually being whole.Why Trust Frays in Relationships – See how self-betrayal quietly erodes trust long before words do.About Cari:Cari Jacobs-Crovetto is a coach, secular meditation teacher, and somatic healing practitioner who blends decades of senior corporate leadership with deep therapeutic training to support meaningful personal and professional growth. After a successful career spanning global brands, media networks, consulting, and multiple Bay Area startups, she now works full-time with business leaders and individuals navigating transition, anxiety, disconnection, and the desire for deeper fulfillment. Cari offers one-on-one and relationship coaching, group work, retreats, organizational alignment, conflict resolution, and strategic future-visioning, helping clients cultivate clarity, resilience, and more conscious ways of leading and living.https://www.bravedirections.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/carisf/https://www.instagram.com/cari_jacobs_sfThanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
