173: Discernment as Power, Eroticism Across Our Lifespan, + Later Age Motherhood with Christine Mason

<p>Author and Rosebud Woman founder Christine Mason joins me to explore what it means to live erotically and powerfully through every stage of womanhood. We dive into her work on aging, agency, and discernment—from embracing our sensuality at any age to navigating later-age motherhood with clarity and choice. Christine shares insights from <em>The 9 Lives of Women</em>, breaking down cultural narratives around sex, aging, and reproductive freedom. We also discuss the importance of body rituals, intergenerational healing, and how staying embodied can support a vibrant, empowered life well into elderhood.</p><p><strong>In this episode you’ll hear:</strong></p><p>00:27 Intro</p><p>07:45 What does it really mean to age erotically?</p><p>17:41 You Are All Your Ages at Once</p><p>20:37 Let Your Future Self Guide You Back to Joy</p><p>27:56 Motherhood, Choice, and the Shifting Narrative</p><p>44:23 Are you making choices from fear or inner knowing?</p><p>49:18 The Joy of Growing Older (And Why You Won’t Want to Go Back)</p><p><strong>THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUEST</strong></p><p>Christine is a six-time founder and CEO, with a deep interest in women's wellness and the liberation of all people.
