“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!
