Stories for women—stories that reveal their secrets with time, experience, and reflection.

Each one, a Map of Becoming.Each archetype, an aspect of self.

The earlier they are received, the better…And it is also never too late.

What seems simple begins, with time, to reveal itself as something far more intricate.

This is the first story.

It is no accident that this story stands at the very beginning of the original Brothers Grimm collection…

The desire to avoid what life wants us to face.The wisdom of aligning thoughts, words, and deeds.The gift of responsibility.Unbound love—for self and others.

These tales have been carried across generations for good reason.

Within them live life’s rhythm of rupture, retreat, return, and rise—the turning points, the Wheel of Fortune, that shape a life.

If you listen closely, you may find yourself within this one.

I look forward to exploring what lives within this story with you in a coming podcast.

Today, I have for you The Frog Prince + Faithful Henry.
