Welcome to the first episode of The Present Day Wise Woman Podcast — where the stories are raw, the wisdom is lived, and the women are bloody legendary. I’m Jennifer Jefferies, naturopath, author, surfer, and unapologetic truth-teller, and this is the conversation the world doesn’t want us having. Money. Sex. Power. Ageing. Health. Visibility. Legacy. We’re not here to be polite or invisible. We’re here to rise, strong, together — carrying the torch lit by the women before us and sparking it brighter for those to come. If you’ve ever been told to tone it down, act your age, or politely disappear, this is your wake-up call.

Show Note:

Quiet after 40? Hell no. This is where we burn brighter.

For too long, women past midlife have been silenced, sidelined, or shamed. They tried to shrink us, hush us, erase us. But the most dangerous woman in history was never the youngest or most agreeable—she was seasoned, fierce, and wise. She was the Crone.

I’m Jennifer Jefferies, and I’m done with the lie that women become irrelevant after menopause. At 64, I’ve never been more certain, never more unapologetic—and I’m here to say the West is lost without our wise women.

This podcast is not polite chatter. These are the conversations they don’t want us having—about money, sex, power, ageing, health, visibility, and legacy. It’s the movement midlife women have been waiting for.

You’ll hear raw stories, truth bombs, and belly laughs from women rewriting the rules of what it means to age. Women who are smashing ceilings, breaking rules, and blazing trails in their second (and third) chapters of life.

I’ll share my own journey—from walking 800+ km across Spain, creating a documentary on older women surfers that went on to win nine film festival awards, to learning the power of sisterhood in the surf and beyond. And you’ll hear from bloody legendary women who prove that midlife is not a fade-out—it’s the time to rise louder, braver, and bolder than ever.

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a call to action. A circle. A lifeline.
Because one voice is powerful—but a chorus of women? That’s unstoppable.

We’re not here to play small. We’re here for impact, for legacy, and to carry the torch forward from the women who fought before us.

So if something you hear makes you think, “My sister, my daughter, my friend needs this”—share it. Let’s rise strong, together.
