The Firebird
If you've been around these parts before, you know that each podcast I invite a guest on to explore a story that has in someway shaped who they've become. While I always do my best to give listeners an overview of the story, so they can follow along, this week I'll be doing something special- telling the story to be discussed on next weeks show. 

My hope is to allow you to have your own experience of the story before the discussion. To let the wonder and magic of the tale meet you wherever you are in your life and whisper to you, whatever it is you most need to hear.  Then, on our next episode, you can listen in as I speak with my guest about how the story shaped them. We'll break down certain aspects of the story and hopefully,  deepen your own experience and understanding of it for yourself. 

To set the stage and get you set up properly before listening, I  invite you to take some time to come up with an intention or a question that you'd like answered? What is something in your life that you'd like more clarity around. Something you'd like to deepen your relationship to.  I suggest you spend sometime journaling on this topic. Then, listen to the recording below.

But do yourself a favor when you listen - put the journal down.  Just listen. Be with the story. Resists the temptation to rush in and make meaning. Let the story speak to you in its own time and its own way.  I'm fond of telling people to simply, "notice what you notice."

Myths and fairy tales tend to have their own way of doing things. Let them. 

Enjoy!

EP22: Sometimes A Wild God: This Changes Everything (Part 2)

6/14/2021

0 Comments

 
Episode Summary:
Sometimes... a story shows up at your doorstep in the wee hours of the night, drunk with the rawness of life. It calls out to you to "open up!" but before you can go to unchain the door, it breaks a window and let's itself in. Sometime that story is a poem, and sometimes that poem is a wild god. When you finally come face to face with it in the kitchen, he...or she...or they... smile an enormous smile and then throw-up on your slippers without apology. You're too late to do anything about it except kick them off and stand barefoot, toe to toe with the old friend you let slip away, a long time ago. They're back now and you realize you may never be the same again.

    Story Mischief Podcast

    About The Show:

    Stories are mischievous little buggers that have been shaping our personal and cultural identities for over ten thousand years. On this podcast, we take a careful look at just how that is. Why? Because while some stories have the ability to lift us up, transform and make us feel whole, others have the ability to divide, mislead and keep us playing small - and who’s got time for that non-sense?

Success isn't a logical pursuit.

It's a mytho-logical quest!


​
Few things are more frustrating than feeling stuck after working hard to logic your way forward. Using a mytho-logical approach, I’ll help you define, craft, and tell the story of who you really are and what you have to offer the world so you can create the success you’re looking for.
