Join us for a discussion on a topic that's at the heart of modern parenthood: the evolving portrayal of princesses in children's media. I sat down with Faith Moore, a stay-at-home mom, author and editor, with a keen eye for dissecting the messages our children absorb through fairy tales.

We kick things off by revisiting the enchanting world of princesses through the lens of "Frozen" and its (not so) subtle subversion of traditional fairy tale tropes. Faith's insights shed light on how modern interpretations of these timeless stories are shaping our children's perceptions.

We then explore the legacy of Disney princesses, from the classic tales like "Snow White" and "Cinderella" to the contemporary reimaginings in "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast." Faith unpacks the symbolism embedded in these stories, their importance and the cultural shift that's led to a reassessment of these beloved characters.

Ultimately, this conversation is about more than just princesses—it's about the stories we tell our children and the values they instill. So join us as we navigate the complex world of fairy tales and uncover the deeper truths hidden beneath the glittering surface.

Lastly, Faith gives us a peek into her book "A Christmas Karol". From there we explore societal pressures and misconceptions surrounding stay-at-home moms.
