Episode description

Talking points: relationships, mythology, archetypes, culture

The title might ruffle some feathers, but sometimes, the best way to look at an issue is through a story. The symbolism has a way of highlighting many complex things at once. This week, I want to talk about an almost common trope in modern dating, but through the lens of a classic story: Cinderella.

(00:00:00) - Intro, using the story as a lens, and the effect of the “wicked stepmother”

(00:04:13) - The shadow of the feminine and masculine, and the archetype of Prince Charming

(00:10:15) - The value of Cinderella as an archetype and symbol
