Once Upon A Time, Humans Created the Seeds of Immortality with Paige Easter

Although evolution and change have been the leading force on earth since the beginning of times, some millennial stories, myths, and metaphors stand out for their longevity and relevance. Some of them went through slight modifications to land better in present times, but all maintained their core message. 

In this episode, I'm joined by my wife Paige to discuss the metaphors in Disney movies; we analyze their long-lasting nature and their power to teach us about ourselves and the world around us. 

We delve into the possibilities of rewriting our hero's journey by reflecting on myths and metaphors, the vast amount of wisdom in them despite their simplicity and their massive staying power. We also talk about Disney stories' influence on social roles and social constructs, the impact of feminine and masculine energy on them, and the powerful trait of playing, suspending disbelief.
