What happens when your body tells you the truth before your mind is ready to hear it?Andrew Lang had built a life around doing the most. He was a teacher, a union rep, and a quiet emotional anchor for everyone around him. But underneath it all, exhaustion was building until one night, his body gave out, and that unexpected breaking point became the beginning of something new.Here's what you'll take away from Andrew's story:Letting go of the need to fix everything can create space for clarity and compassion.Gentleness is not weakness; it's a powerful response to burnout and emotional overload.Healing often begins with halting steps, not grand plans.Topics DiscussedWhat burnout can actually feel like in the body before the mind registers itThe illusion of being “good enough” and how overperforming keeps us stuckCarrying others' emotional weight, especially in under-supported school systemsThe pivotal bike ride that marked Andrew's shift from burnout to beginning againWhy silence can be the most honest response when everything gets too heavyThe decision to walk away from teaching after years of pouring everything inStarting again with intention, not obligationCreating space for honest storytelling and the power of communityRedefining personal success through presence and permissionLearning to say no, and how that can unlock a different version of lifeAndrew Lang is an educator in the Pacific Northwest and core facilitator of the Gentle Change Collective, where he leads folks in finding sustainable ways to turn their experiences of overwhelm into action that brings repair and healing in their communities.Links:Gentle Change Collective: https://www.andrewglang.com/gentlechangeResource that guides you in developing sustainable actions within the context we're currently living in: https://practice.andrewglang.com/products/gentle-change-starter-kit
Tonight, we'll read a fairy tale called “The Invisible Prince,” found in “The Yellow Fairy Book” edited by Andrew Lang and published in 1894. This story is about The Prince of Air and how he overcame adversity and found his way to The Golden Isle. Andrew Lang was a Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic best known for his influential "Fairy Books"—a twelve-volume series that gathered tales from a wide range of cultures. Each volume was named for a different color and included a mix of well-known stories and lesser-known folktales, translated and adapted with the help of his wife, Leonora.

In the fourth episode of our "Fairy Book Project," Martin tells The Yellow Dwarf - a picaresque adventure about fire-breathing basilisks, how mermaids champion the course of true love, and the dangers of indulging children...If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Tonight, we'll read an Icelandic fairy tale called “Litill, Tritill, the Birds, and the Peasant Lad” translated and edited by Mrs. A. W. Hall and published in 1897. Like many folk and fairy tales, the exact origins are complicated and sometimes unclear. The more well-known Crimson Fairy Book edited by Andrew Lang cites this story as having Hungarian origin. However, there are at least two earlier publications that are specifically Icelandic compilations that include this story. Iceland has a rich tradition of storytelling, with folktales passed down through oral tradition for centuries before being committed to print. Stories often traveled across borders and were reshaped by local customs, so it's not surprising to find the same tale appearing in different collections with varied national attributions. What remains consistent in this version is its distinctly Icelandic sensibility—featuring a humble protagonist, mysterious helpers, and a clever unraveling of magical obstacles, all set against the stark yet enchanted landscapes typical of Northern European lore. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

In the second episode of our "Fairy Book Project," Eleanor tells Prince Hyacinth And The Dear Little Princess - a story about the bliss of ignorance, dubious fairy wisdom, and about how truly enormous noses can obstruct the path of true love...If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

To the displeasure of many a maiden, its enjoyment is short lived. Once satisfied, it ceases to exist, and always costs dearly. Another moral: Apply logic to this grim story, and you will ascertain that it took place many years ago. No husband of our age would be so terrible as to demand the impossible of his wife, nor would he be such a jealous malcontent. For, whatever the color of her husband's beard, the wife of today will let him know who the master is.

Beverages: Beverages, such as water and wine, are poured from the right, as glasses are typically placed to the right of the guest's plate. Sides: Sides like bread and vegetables are also served from the left. Clearing: Plates: Plates are cleared from the right, using your right hand to remove the plate. Exceptions: If a guest is obstructing the way on the right, or if there is an object on the right side, a server may need to serve from the right. Some restaurants may have their own protocols for serving, whether it's to the right or left. Why Serve from the Left? Serving from the left is considered less intrusive for right-handed diners, as it avoids the server having to reach across the guest. It also allows the server to carry the food in their left hand and serve with their right hand, without crossing their arms in front of the guest. 57:20 *CraftLit's Socials* • Find everything here: https://www.linktr.ee/craftlitchannel • Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/2raf9 • Podcast site: http://craftlit.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CraftLit/ • Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/craftlit • Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/craftlit/ • TikTok podcast: https://www.tiktok.com/@craftlit • Email: heather@craftlit.com • Previous CraftLit Classics can be found here: https://bit.ly/craftlit-library-2023 *SUPPORT THE SHOW!* • CraftLit App Premium feed bit.ly/libsynpremiumcraftlit (only one tier available) • PATREON: https://patreon.com/craftlit (all tiers, below) ——Walter Harright - $5/mo for the same audio as on App ——Jane Eyre - $10/mo for even-month Book Parties ——Mina Harker - $15/mo for odd-month Watch Parties *All tiers and benefits are also available as* —*YouTube Channel Memberships* —*Ko-Fi* https://ko-fi.com/craftlit —*NEW* at CraftLit.com — Premium Memberships https://craftlit.com/membership-levels/ *IF you want to join a particular Book or Watch Patry but you don't want to join any of the above membership options*, please use PayPal.me/craftlit or CraftLit @ Venmo and include what you want to attend in the message field.

In this podcast episode, we're exploring Somatic Dance as a form of movement therapy. My guest, Anika Voy, is a trained psychotherapist who helps her clients and students find authentic self-expression and healing through dance. Anika explains that “the dance floor is a microcosm of our life,” and describes how creative movement can be used as a tool of discovery, as well as self-expression. We talk about the differences between dance as a performance art vs. dance as a somatic therapy, or a form of personal practice or mindful movement. She also describes certain obstacles and misconceptions about dance related to religion, ideas about sexuality, being a “good” dancer, or associating dance with clubbing or substance use. You'll hear about: how movement reveals traits innate to a person's physicality, as well as their conditioned habits dance as an opportunity to move with emotions and give them space using movement, footwork, and music to invoke certain energies like power, groundedness, lightness, or fluidity the balance between structured dance movements and the freedom to improvise. And, Anika also shares some of her backstory, including how she discovered somatic dance therapy during a period of severe depression. After completing her studies to become a therapist, she took the inspiring leap (as a single mother!) to relocate from Berlin to Costa Rica, following the authentic calling she discovered through her healing dance practice. ------- Guest Bio: Anika Voy left the urban jungle of Berlin six years ago to move to the tropical rainforests of Latin America. Her personal journey into self-discovery began with a severe episode of depression in her 20's. She realized she was living someone else's life and started searching for answers. That search led to dance therapy, where her lifelong love for movement and her growing passion for psychology merged. She first encountered dance therapy in 2011 as a patient in a psychosomatic rehabilitation clinic. It sparked a deeper interest in movement and its positive impact on our well-being, which led to Pilates, yoga, and mindfulness practices like MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy). In 2017, she became a certified Alternative Psychotherapist, and in 2019 she received her certification as a Systemic Dance Therapist. She also had the opportunity to lead a project at the Taller de Danza in San José, integrating dance therapy methodologies into performance at Costa Rica's largest institution for dance and theater. Today she works independently, offering monthly Urban Somatic Dance sessions and 1:1 Somatic Dance Mentoring, using movement as a profound tool for self-discovery and growth. To learn more about Anika's work, visit her website at https://www.living-in-motion.com/, follow her on Instagram at @anikavoy_living_in_motion, or look her up on Spotify to find playlists for your own dance explorations. ------ In this episode, I also mentioned the Gentle Change Collective, which is a new offering from a previous podcast guest, Andrew Lang. (Check out Ep. 69 with Andrew, “Unmasking the Inner Critic.”) The Gentle Change Collective is a mentoring group for people who are interested in social change, but aren't really sure how to take action in a way that feels like a fit. This program starts in February, and it could be a really good way to go from hopelessly scrolling to finding meaningful actions that make sense for you AND make a difference… https://www.andrewglang.com/gentlechange?affiliate_code=2bb37b ------- I also wanted to send some extra love to Los Angeles in this episode. The Foothills area of LA (near Altadena) was my home for many years. I still have a lot of friends there and so many fond memories of the place itself. It's been about a week since the devastating wildfires began, and support is still very much needed. Rebuilding will be a long term process. So, I thought I would share a few of my favorite local organizations, informed by deep ties both my husband and I have from working in the non-profit sector there. Pasadena Community Foundation https://pasadenacf.org/ - Community foundations are in an excellent position to provide long-term support (as well as quick emergency funding), due to their existing relationships to a variety of organizations serving the local area. PCF grants go to vetted organizations focused on social services, housing, senior programs, healthcare, education, animal welfare, the arts, and the environment. For more immediate needs, there are many (many) GoFundMe pages raising funds for families and businesses who have lost their home and/or livelihood in the fires. Simply search under the “emergency” category on GoFundMe.com. And, I also recommend the California Fire Foundation, which supports victims of fire, as well as the brave and tireless firefighters. Donations go towards cash cards that are distributed on the scene, in the moment of shock when someone loses their house to fire. (This helps people pay for essentials like hotel and food right away.) The California Fire Foundation also has a fund to support firefighters and their families, because this heroic job is extremely dangerous. Firefighters risk their lives and future health to help others, and we cannot thank or support them enough. -------- Feel free to reach out through my website with any episode requests, topics you'd like to hear about, or guest interview suggestions.

Tonight, we'll read a Snoozecast-adapted version of the story “Princess Minon-Minette” found in “The Pink Fairy Book” edited by Andrew Lang. This episode first aired back in 2021. Originally found in the “Library of Genius and Fairies”, this story was written by French aristocrat and writer of the late 1600s Madame de Murat. She published many stories that she first debuted at the fashionable literary salons of her time, and was considered one of the leaders of the “fairy-tale vogue.” After several years of success and recognition, Madame de Murat was imprisoned and then exiled, being accused of debauchery and “shocking practices and beliefs”. Although she failed at an attempt to escape wearing the disguise of men's clothing, she did continue to write her body of works for several years after that. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Part 2 of 2. We invited fellow PNW'er Andrew Lang to talk about inner critic and shadow work that he specializes in. The inner critic develops subconsciously from the stories and experiences of our lives, and shadows are parts of us that get rejected or repressed by the people and communities around us. Andrew discusses how to get connected to these through the body and mindful awareness in order to live an open and more vibrant life. Andrew Lang is an educator in the Pacific Northwest, an alumnus of Richard Rohr's Living School for Action and Contemplation, and author of Unmasking the Inner Critic: Lessons for Living an Unconstricted Life. Along with writing regularly, he facilitates workshops helping people to navigate their inner lives and explore their sense of identity and spirituality. You can find more of his writings and offerings at www.AndrewGLang.com. Aaron Potratz & Nathan Hawkins are behavioral health experts, licensed counselors, and clinical supervisors with over 35 years of experience. They each own a private group therapy practice and co-own a third one together. Aaron is also a business consultant for therapists in private practice wanting to start, grow, or expand their business. *Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/MxRfYaZxHxE *Now on YouTube: @shrink-think *Sign up for our FREE email course on overcoming fear and insecurity at: https://www.shrinkthink.com/podcast -------------- *Member of the PsychCraft Podcast Network* https://psychcraftnetwork.com/

Robert Louis Stevenson (born Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson; 13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer. He is best known for works such as Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped and A Child's Garden of Verses.Born and educated in Edinburgh, Stevenson suffered from serious bronchial trouble for much of his life, but continued to write prolifically and travel widely in defiance of his poor health. As a young man, he mixed in London literary circles, receiving encouragement from Andrew Lang, Edmund Gosse, Leslie Stephen and W. E. Henley, the last of whom may have provided the model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island. In 1890, he settled in Samoa where, alarmed at increasing European and American influence in the South Sea islands, his writing turned away from romance and adventure fiction toward a darker realism. He died of a stroke in his island home in 1894 at age 44.A celebrity in his lifetime, Stevenson's critical reputation has fluctuated since his death, though today his works are held in general acclaim. In 2018, he was ranked, just behind Charles Dickens, as the 26th-most-translated author in the world.-bio via Wikipedia Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe
