After taking a hiatus from podcasting, I'm introducing the newly rebranded Radiant Matriarch podcast focused on helping midlife women reclaim their power, beauty, and wisdom during this transformational threshold.

• Midlife represents a magnificent opportunity for rebirth and reclamation, not diminishment
• Cultural narratives wrongly suggest women become "less than" when we actually step into deeper power
• By age 40, many women are depleted from years of pushing, doing, and overriding their cyclical nature
• Much of our depletion stems from generational patterns, mother line conditioning, and patriarchal systems
• Perimenopause symptoms often relate to long-term nutritional and energetic depletion
• The marketplace has turned menopause into a business, but the deepest healing begins with self-connection
• Powerful transformation requires asking: Where am I outsourcing my power? What am I hungry for?
• Akashic Records work helps clear emotional patterns stored in the body and untangle limiting beliefs
• Creative sexual energy in midlife can be harnessed for vision, leadership, and community contribution
• Practices like sacred nourishment, yoni steaming, and deep hydration support midlife radiance

Speaker 1:

Hi and welcome to the Upgraded Podcast. I've taken a little bit of a hiatus to be honest, it's been almost probably more like a year, I guess that I've stepped away from podcasting, kind of popped back in a little bit. January, february, with a bit of an upgrade to the podcast Still wasn't feeling quite right. So I stepped away for six months and I have to say last fall I really felt this call to close out a lot of old, closing out the Akashic Women's School, just felt like I needed to make space for a new identity to begin to emerge. Midlife is a wild ride. It is such a wild ride, it's such a transition and I really want to make space for it.

Speaker 1:

I've been guiding women the last 14 years through deep soul level transformation, so I understand intimately the energetics of change, of harnessing the power of new seasons and stages in our lives as women and how we can rebirth ourselves over and over again. And really, if we're fortunate or lucky enough to end up in old age, this becomes a lifetime journey of reinvention, of getting to know ourselves, to rebirth ourselves, to become new and more integrated and I don't want to use the word better, but it's like richer expressions of who we are as women, and that is that invitation of midlife and it's a real passion piece for me. Even you know I've been serving mothers for a long time, but especially with the Akashic records. You know, there was a time where I was attracting a lot of women in their late 60s and their late 70s. Um, still today I have women who are in their 60s and their 70s and it's been an honor to be able, you know, and many women through the menopause initiation, you know, women who know that there is an opportunity to grow richer, wiser, more powerful, more radiant as we age, right, and it's really pushing up against a cultural narrative that tells us that we become less than when really the exact opposite is true. We step into a baseline emergence of a very deep power, but I feel the trick is that we've got to be really present with the shifts and the changes that are taking place spiritually, emotionally, at the level of our bodies. It's a time of deep listening, it's a time of deep honoring.

Speaker 1:

There's so much noise now too, around the midlife, perimenopause, menopause journey, and this has always been a passion piece for me. I've always really felt the threshold of midlife to hold so much magic and power. You know, I found Christian Northrup's book when I was maybe 20 I'm'm 47 now. A long time ago I started to work with my cyclical wisdom and I was in a place of healing from depression, from trauma. But it was my cyclical wisdom that really allowed me to heal. It really allowed me to and I almost I feel tears saying this but it really allowed me to find myself again, to tune into my body, to tune into my feminine rhythms, and I really wish so much that women knew that there is so much power in our gentleness, in deep listening and in honoring and in honoring Like we have so much access to healing right Without outsourcing ourselves to more information.

Speaker 1:

You know, I was at the bookstore the other day and I went to the health section and there was, you know, two rows. There was a good section of books on menopause. Now it's becoming a business. That isn't even the right word. It is becoming a business, but it's not the right word. And for myself, I love learning. I love learning about this midlife transition. I love learning about how our bodies are shifting and changing. I know so many women are struggling with perimenopause symptoms and I myself have too, but I have to say. So much of it was course corrected through honoring my body, through learning to listen to my body, through feeding my body, through understanding how to mother myself and listen and honor Truly so much was self-corrected.

Speaker 1:

By the time we get to midlife, so many women are depleted. They're depleted with minerals, energetically, their adrenals. We're not meant to push, go, do and hustle. And after years of operating like that, as mothers, as leaders, as women, as way showers, so many are called to bring forward their gifts and to really space hold for the emergence of a new collective way of being and thinking. But it's like, through all of that, through so many years of overriding our systems, and so much of that is passed on through our mother line, through our interactions with the patriarchy, beyond the scope of this lifetime, right Through so many other lifetimes, through our ancestry, through generational trauma, through just having to operate and exist in society, the matrix of patriarchal consciousness which is really the root of, you know, our trauma.

Speaker 1:

When we get to midlife, our bodies are shifting and changing and they're asking for adaptation. They're asking, you know, they're not, mostly they're starving. Our bodies are like not even hungry, you know, I would say starving, nutritionally depleted and beyond that. It's not even just nutritionally depleted. It is a depletion for vitality, it is a depletion for radiance. It's a thirstiness for life, right, because there's so much opportunity too. We don't need to dry up, shrivel up, right. We need to be able to keep our juices flowing. You know, I'm really into sacred hydration. Right now, I bought myself a brand new ionizer, right, and it's it's. It's beautiful, it's hydrogenated and it is alkaline and it's I'm experiencing a whole other level of juiciness.

Speaker 1:

So these are the questions, and I feel like, before we go searching for answers on podcasts and Instagram reels and the experts and the books, because there is so much out there, because it is becoming such a business, and I think it's beautiful that we have so much awareness around the power that we have to create a new experience around this pivot Sorry, not this pivot this rebirth, right, and I think some, even some of the doctors that I'm watching, you know, who are leading experts in this field, I feel like they're missing the feminine wisdom part. There's still like a holding on to like what the aging process means. There's something deeper missing from the conversation around what this gets to mean for women, you know, and there are women touching in on that, but not very many, and that, to me, is the most important piece. I feel like we, if we listen and honor and allow the things that want to fade away to fade away, while nourishing ourselves deeply, listening, mothering ourselves, feeding the hunger, the starvation, the dehydration on like multiple levels we are, we are supporting ourselves through a void of change, preparing the soil for a new season of life. And if we work with it in a deep way, an emotional way, a spiritual way, a soul level way, without outsourcing our power as it so easily and often happens, without outsourcing our power as it so easily and often happens, is we're really setting the stage for a reclamation into our most powerful years, beyond just this youth obsession with beauty, right With the way that women have been trained, conditioned to believe that their value is so tied into the way that they look, you know even that right. Where it's this question of where are we outsourcing our power, our approval? That's the whole point of midlife, of stepping into and initiating into more of power in midlife and beyond, is that we're not outsourcing, we're resourcing, we're finding this really deep, anchored presence that has so much gravity and power in midlife and we can't do that if we're outsourcing, if we're still seeking validation, acceptance, approval which, by the way, that brings me to the upcoming Flower of Life Akashic rebrand that's happening this fall. The doors don't officially open until september 1st, but I'm going to drop the link on the podcast page and you can know that the old pricing is actually available. We kept it up um, there's the wait list, is there the wait list link? And then the um, the old pricing is there as well. So, as of september 1st, the doors are opening to this rebrand, and I'm saying this because this is so much of the work that I do with women.

Speaker 1:

The reason the flower of life akashic certification was born was to really bring forward a modality which is so spiritual and feminine and shamanic in nature. Space holds in a really deep way, for that reclamation of stepping into more of our beauty, truth, power, wisdom, wealth, right and the akashic records being the deepest tool on the planet, the deepest healing spiritual tool on the planet, both awakens that ancient power, our divine soul blueprint, and clears at a very deep level a lot of the patterning right that we're talking about. That I was talking about when I was saying you so much of what we've picked up around. Depletion is so rooted in the mother line in past lives, throughout our ancestry. It's generational right, that interaction with the patriarch that's so embedded in our consciousness. We're at this threshold where we get to dismantle that in a very fierce way. So this is a special call for midlife women, with the Flower of Life Akashic Certification this year. It's open to everyone. It is absolutely open to any woman, way shower leader, anyone who's really ready for know this feminine leadership for for a changing world, is really, really you know what this is about.

Speaker 1:

Feminine leadership doesn't outsource its power. She doesn't outsource her power. Feminine leadership is becoming very deeply resourced with who you are, the medicine that you're here to share with the world, how you're being called to take up space in the world. It's that unshakable sense of who you are and the power that you have right, and it sets the stage for the medicine that you're here to bring the communities that you're here to serve and lead, but from a very embodied, very anchored, very fully expressed, very safe in your body kind of way. That's another beautiful aspect of the flower of life is that it's body-based. We're working at the level of the soul of life is that it's, it's body-based. We're working at the level of the soul, the subconscious, cellular level. We're working at the level of the womb. We're clearing out or dismantling, untangling these very deeply rooted patterns that sit and hold as trauma imprints in our body right, creating stuck patterns in our lives. And so we clear that out. But we work as space holders as you learn to become a practitioner, to become the mirror of the mother for other women, where we can uphold a mirror to other women, reflect back to them their power, their wisdom, their beauty, truth, that version of who they're being called to be. And I give you a whole framework for space holding moving women through embodied soul level transformation right For these different stages of life, whether it's motherhood, whether it's entrepreneurship, maybe it's your soul's calling, maybe it's this midlife rebirth, right.

Speaker 1:

Maybe you're stepping more into, like the crone era, maybe you're moving through divorce. In any change there is an opportunity for rebirth. It's just do we understand how to harness the power of it? Do we understand how to work with the energetics of change that's available to us to really set the stage for our evolution as women? So really, it's for any woman who's on the edge of her evolution.

Speaker 1:

But there's this special call to midlife women right now. Who's on the edge of her evolution? But there's this special call to midlife women right now. I feel we're at a very important time because women have an opportunity to step so fully into their power in midlife. And that is this invitation is to find your power edge, to be able to hold it in your body, and that is what the Flower of Life Akashic Certification, that pathway whether you do it personally, it's a three-month certification.

Speaker 1:

We go deep into so many rich modules, like it's just. It's such a beautiful certification, six years old you know I've had over a hundred women go through. Six years old you know I've had over a hundred women go through and the feedback is always amazing. It's always amazing. It is definitely like my pride and joy, channeled creation. You know that I created after 6,000 Akashic record sessions and 14 years of service. So, so there's a lot of magic in that place.

Speaker 1:

So if that speaks to you, definitely reach out. You can DM me on Facebook. You can email me, tara, tara Prestoncom, if this speaks to you. So the early pricing ends on August 24th. It's one one, one one right now. It'll go up to 2,500 as of September 1st, because I'm weaving in. It's getting an upgrade, frequency upgrade modules. It'll still have the bones of all the old program, but it's getting a frequency upgrade and it is such a potent container of transformation I mean, my womb just lit up saying it container of transformation. I mean, my womb just lit up saying it.

Speaker 1:

So I digress, but here's the invitation is really, if you're in this midlife portal, or if you're at the edge of your evolution, where are you outsourcing your power? Where are you looking for approval, validation, acceptance? Where are you trying to find security outside of yourself? Where are you trying to outsource your answers? And where can you start to create space? This is the foundation, right? This is the foundation.

Speaker 1:

Before you go and read and read and read and learn about hormones and learn about HRT or whatever it is. You know that we're being bombarded with. Now Come back home to yourself. Where are you thirsty? Where are you dehydrated in your life? Where are you hungry? What are you hungry for in your life as a midlife woman? Or what are you starving for? Where are you feeling depleted? What is your essence needing from you? What is your essence needing from you? What does your body need from you? What does your inner child need from you. Where can you come home to mother yourself? This becomes important because of years and decades of not listening, of not mothering ourselves.

Speaker 1:

We arrive in our 40s, late 30s. We are depleted, malnourished. So many of the perimenopause symptoms that we experience it's due to deprivation, it's due to overriding the beauty and the cyclical nature of how we are built. We have to bring ourselves back into balance. So, at a foundational level, it's like bringing yourself back into balance and we do that through listening, through honoring right.

Speaker 1:

You know, for me it was like a lot of sugar. To be honest, it had my body out of balance. And sugar, as in a lot of like breads and pastas and chips and like filler foods, comfort foods they weren't serving me anymore. I needed nutrient dense whole foods, anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense whole foods. I needed rich, nourishing oils, avocados right. I started taking Udo's oil, which is a combination of flaxseed oil and a whole bunch of other different oils. Like my body, you know, it's interesting. When I started taking oils too, I stopped having hunger cravings. I started to remineralize my body with, like really nutrient dense teas, like from nature, you know, food herbs, right, like that is mother's medicine.

Speaker 1:

Are we listening, are we honoring Right and we're so used to this low-grade external attachment that sucks our life force energy. We have to come home to ourselves in midlife. We have to become so powerfully resourced in who we are that we can hold a new level of capacity for nourishment, can hold a new level of capacity for nourishment, for power and, to be honest, our sexual power right, our creative sexual energy that we get to use and harness for ourselves and for the birth of a higher vision that can set us free, our families free. That can be a contribution to community, if you so choose. We don't need to use that energy anymore for childbearing, it's just for us. But we need to tend to the fire of our creative spark as midlife women. We need to tend to the creative fire of our sexual spark as midlife women. As midlife women, we need to stay juicy, vibrant, alive, nourished, fed, radiant.

Speaker 1:

So if this is speaking to you, I want to introduce you as well to my brand new free gift to check out. It's called Sacred Radiance for Midlife and it's a guide to vitality, prosperity and power in the second half of life, and I'm going to leave the link below and it's an invitation to listen, to listen to your womb, to deepen into. There's a few very simple, sacred nourishment for radiance recipes, right, teas. I talk about the art of yoni steaming as such a vibrant practice of deep nourishment, like it really, really it really allows you to receive beyond other things. Right, it's really this womb connection, this awakening of our feminine power. It's so beautiful. Um, there is a contribution in there from colin jackson, who's the creator of the prime method. Uh, definitely worth checking out. He's got a free 12-week beginner training plan in there. Like he is amazing at working with midlife women. Definitely check it out.

Speaker 1:

And I talk about again the power of akashic records for shadow work in midlife life. Right Again, so much of what we push up against is unresolved emotions. It's all the gunk that we're carrying around that hasn't been processed. Because so many women have been going, doing pushing, they haven't taken time to resolve the deeper underbelly of deep emotions. And this is where the Akashic Records are so beautiful at helping to move through, lift out, untangle the deeper emotions right Tied to past experiences that haven't been processed, and it gets stored in our tissues. And this is where the Akashic Records go in and find the stories clear out the root right, open the way for the release and then to come into a deeper relationship with ourselves. Right, it's. What new stories are we going to create? How can we open the door to the deeper dream that wants to be birthed through us?

Speaker 1:

You know so many women in midlife. Stop dreaming, right? They're so entangled in all of these old stories. I'm a failure. Oh, I tried that. Oh, this happened. Oh, this is it right? Those are stories. We're actually meant to look back at those stories, those experiences, and recalibrate through them. They're there as teaching moments. It's not meant to be carried forward as baggage. It's meant to offer a recalibration as a part of the foundation of learning that will support the bigger creation that we're being called into for midlife and beyond.

Speaker 1:

All right, my loves, I wanted to come in and introduce the new podcast, which is Radiant Matriarch, and I just kind of channeled through a share. Radiant Matriarch really is the sacred space for midlife mothers, visionaries, feminine leaders. It's here. It's here for all of us who want to reawaken, or awaken right In the, in the fullest way, that creative sexual spark, right, that is so intrinsic to like who we are. It never goes away. It's such a source of vitality we can't disconnect from it, though we have to stoke the fire of it. It's for midlife women. You really want to take up space, redefine their beauty, power and wealth on their own terms. You're being called into a new era of leadership, of freedom. But you know you want to do it from a deeper place of embodied nourishment. So I'm your host, tara Preston.
