“The only question in the end is whether I can find and tell my inner story, 

which is also my inner truth.” ~ Michael Meade.

What fairy tale, myth or story most resembles what your mother lived in her formative years?

This month’s podcast is a special early tribute to Cyndera's mom for Mother’s Day! This podcast includes her story as a child, and its many parallels to the Cinderella story: absent mother, absent father, abandonment, perseverance, patience, kindness, birds, housework, stepmother, stepsisters, fairy godmother, the magic carriage, the dog, the dream come true....

A video version of this reading is available for paid subscribers on the Archetypal Stories Substack! The article and video includes pictures of Cyndera's mom and images from the Little Golden Book version that captured my her imagination and heart as a little girl. 

Enjoy and... Happy Mother's Day!
