Crone Wisdom: A woman who is venerated for experience, judgement and wisdom. Meet Jacinta, a proud Post-Menopausal Woman and the embodiment of crone wisdom. She’s a vibrant soul with an entrepreneurial spark, and a penchant for travel, beauty, and the allure of endless summers. Beyond her adventures, she champions the potential in others. Her resume? Impressive and varied. Jacinta wears many hats: Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur, Master Hypnotherapist, Psychic Medium, ex-Fashion Week pioneer, publicist, columnist, and more. She’s penned books, been a voice in the fashion world, even dabbled in nightclubs, tourism, the arts, and launched lifestyle brands. And this entrepreneurial spirit led to Madame Menopause: At 41, I plunged into early menopause, marked by the abrupt end of my menstrual cycle. and her body began to morph - first the breasts, followed by hips, the abdomen, and a fuller waistline. My wardrobe started to protest, and I wasn’t a fan! Now, I wear my curves with pride. This body? It’s authentically feminine and bears the testimony of life’s journey. While some might not label it “body goals,” for me, it’s undeniably the “best body of my life.” Because the agony of resenting your own body? It clouds your entire life’s perspective. Enter Madame Menopause: a transformative 5-week hypnosis program crafted to align with your body’s metamorphosis, centering on weight management and self love. And that’s what we’re here today to have a chat about!
