Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we've been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. There are times when we we hear stories that sound an awful lot like our own lives, stories that we can connect to, and find ourselves in. At other times, the stories we hear are so crazy that we might think that we can't find ourselves in them at all! Today's stories fall into the latter category. Even though these stories may seem impossible or out-of-this-world, there's a little something for all of us in each of them. On today's episode, enjoy the following: "Anansi and the Hat-Shaking Dance" by Donna Washington from Troubling Trouble (2:16) "The Last Zapotec King" by Carolina Quiroga-Stultz from Cuentos Myths and Legends (12:44) : "The Lion and the Man" by Laura Simms from Making Peace: Heart Uprising (26:09) "The Farm Girl and the New Dress" by Jenni Cargill-Strong from Reaching for the Moon II (33:17) "Mule Humans" by Tim Lowry from Out 'n No Book (36:17) "The Interview" by Geraldine Buckley from Destination? Slammer! (47:39)

Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we've been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers. Life is full of wonders, questions, tragedies, and miracles. No two lives are exactly the same, and neither are any two stories. Some stories are filled with ancient catacombs and bones, while others are filled with groundhogs or other animals. Whatever the case, a little variety in both life and the stories we tell adds a little bit of excitement that we can all enjoy. On today's episode, enjoy the following: "The Woodchuck as Warrior: of Whistlepigs and World Politics" by Doug Elliott from Groundhogology and Marmotabilia: Of Whistlepigs and World Politics (2:46) “Ballad of Ross and Anna” by Norman Walker from Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts (14:56) “Sody Salaraitis” by Ed Stivender from Silly Jack: Stories and Songs for Children (21:21) “Animal Tales” by Laura Simms from Four Legged Tales: Animal Tales from Here and Away (29:23) “A Little Princess” by Catherine Taylor (37:37) Radio Family Journal: "Kountry Korner" by Sam Payne (49:14)

The storyteller Laura Simms tells "The Pigeon's Bride" and explores the art of storytelling in an interview with Jay Leeming.            

A tale for the rabbit, the lion, and perhaps the dancer in each of us.

Laura Simms has collected animal stories from all over the world. In this Inuit tale, Raven is in charge of creation. What will the world learn? That's the story.

How do you feel about failure? It's not something many people enjoy, yet it is something we all have to deal with. Absolutely everyone fails at something at some point. Maybe there are some people who don't ever seem to fail, but they definitely have moments you may not know about that are less successful. With all the failure in the world, we might start to think that things aren't looking too good. But is there another side to failure? What are the benefits to losing? As it turns out, failure is the way we learn. If you talk to successful people, they'll often describe their first attempts as being failures, but they learned and kept going. Feeling the occasional pain of failure allows us to appreciate fully the joy of success. Here on the Apple Seed we have put together a few stories that may not seem like successes at first, but things turned around with some new ideas and a little work.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:“The Diffendaffer Taffy Cafe” by Laura K. Deal from The Diffendaffer Taffy Cafe (8:17)“Two Bears” by Laura Simms from Four Legged Tales: Animal Stories from Here and Away (4:36)“Armadillo Recon Unit” by Bil Lepp from The Divine Bovine (6:01)“When the Cat Came to Mohammed” by Pam Faro from Andalusian Trilogy: Stories of Jews, Christians, and Muslims of Medieval Spain (4:53)“The King of the Clams” by Bill Harley from Blah Blah Blah (14:53)Radio Family Journal: "Second Day of College" (6:04)

We always hope that the stories we share with you on The Apple Seed spark memories for you to share with the people that you love. Sometimes those memories are sparked by listening to personal stories, and other times by listening to tall tales and fairy tales. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have the memories wash over you as you listen to stories about Kings, Mule Humans, and Shaking Hats.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:"Anansi and the Hat-Shaking Dance" by Donna Washington from Troubling Trouble (9:21)      "The Last Zapotec King” by Carolina Quiroga-Stultz from Cuentos Myths and Legends (12:35)"The Lion and the Man" by Laura Simms from Making Peace - Heart Uprising (7:14)"The Farm Girl & The New Dress" by Jenni Cargill-Strong from Reaching for the Moon II (2:27) "Mule Humans" by Tim Lowry from Out 'n No Book (10:52)"The Interview" by Geraldine Buckley from Destination?

We always hope that the stories we share with you on The Apple Seed spark memories for you to share with the people that you love. Sometimes those memories are sparked by listening to personal stories, and other times by listening to tall tales and fairy tales. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have the memories wash over you as you listen to stories about Day and Night, grasshoppers, and small-tooth dogs.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:"Creation of Day and Night" by Susan Strauss from Dreams of Animals: Myths and Personal Stories of Animals (10:40)Susan Strauss is recognized internationally for her stories about the natural world. She combines mythic/traditional stories with personal anecdotes and scientific information to provoke an experience of natural archetypes: animals, mountains, trees, and plants. In this story from Ms. Strauss, you'll learn how day and night came to be.      "Why the Sky is Far Away" by Liz Weir from Here, There and Everywhere (4:08)In an episode featuring stories about lessons learned from the natural world - myths and legends about plants, animals, and other natural phenomena - here's another story explaining how something came to be the way it is. This one from West Africa is from Liz Weir, a longtime friend of The Appleseed from Ireland, and is about why the sky is far away.  "Giggly Biggly and the Invitation" by Jim Weiss from Animal Tales (9:08)Here's a little piece from Jim Weiss that features Giggly Biggly, a polar bear, as well as other delightful animals including a raccoon and a delivery kangaroo. It's a story about a wedding invitation, a party, and a new outfit just right for the occasion. It's a story you're sure to enjoy 'biggly'.  "The Grasshopper and the Ants" by Donna Washington from A Tureen of Tales (8:33) Only Donna Washington could tell another storyteller's story, in this case Aesop, and make it her own. Here's Donna's rendition of "The Grasshopper and the Ants" from Aesop's Fables. Donna's story is about hard work and it recognizes that there's room for just about everyone.  "The Small-Tooth Dog" by Priscilla Howe from 5 Stories (6:41)Up next is a live recording of a story from Priscilla Howe called "The Small-Tooth Dog" about a talking dog who saves a man from a band of robbers. "Monkey and Frog” by Laura Simms from Four Legged Tales: Animal Stories From Here and Away (4:05)Laura Simms has collected animals stories from all over the world. And you're sure to recognize this story from West Africa, or at least elements of it. This is a story about a monkey who is a great cook, manages a home well, and has a friend who is a frog. But Mr. Frog is lazy. So it sounds a little bit like the old story of "The Grasshopper and the Ants", the story we brought you earlier from Donna Washington. The truth is, some of the stories that we love the most from one place have echoes in stories all over the world. We hope this story reminds you of other stories you know and love.

Life is full of wonders, questions, tragedies, and miracles. Every life is different, and every story is different too, but we can always find a way to relate to the good ones. We hope that the stories today spark memories and stories of your own that go on to be shared with loved ones. We have tales about things ranging from groundhogs to art in ancient catacombs from tellers Doug Elliott, Norman Walker, Ed Stivender, and more.  On today's episode, enjoy the following:“The Woodchuck as Warrior: of Whistlepigs and World Politics” by Doug Elliott from Groundhogology and Marmotabilia: Of Whistlepigs and World Politics (10:03)This story comes from a man who knows all about nature and an album that is all about groundhogs. It is entitled Groundhogology and Marmotabilia: Of Whistlepigs and World Politics. Doug Elliott is not only a storyteller, but also a naturalist and herbalist. He has traveled all over the Americas to investigate plant and animal life and learn about people's connection to the natural world. As he explains in this story, people actually have quite a big connection to animals. We can learn a lot about ourselves from watching those groundhogs. “Ballad of Ross and Anna” by Norman Walker from Dear Friends and Gentle Hearts (5:39)Norman Walker is not just a storyteller. He is a self proclaimed story singer. He has also been called a contemporary folk singer. This song, entitled “Ballad of Ross and Anna” is about a couple who falls in love and builds a cabin on a mountainside. Unfortunately, the granite slab they built it on was not as good of an idea as they originally thought. In the winter it seemed fine, but it was actually a home to rattlesnakes. “Sody Salaraitis” by Ed Stivender from Silly Jack: Stories and Songs for Children (5:54)Ed Stivender became a full time storyteller in 1977 after leaving his job as a high school teacher. Ever since he has been involved in storytelling across the country. This story comes from an appalachian tale reminiscent of a reverse little red riding hood. Instead of to grandmother's house, it's from grandmother's house, to pick up some needed backing supplies for grandma. One by one, each person sent to get some sody salaraitus doesn't come back until the only person left is the squirrel. “Animal Tales” by Laura Simms from Four Legged Tales: Animal Tales from Here and Away (7:17)Have you ever wondered how animals got their tails? They didn't used to all have them. If you pay attention, you'll see that some animals have long tails, and others have short ones. Some are fluffy and others are sleek. Laura Simms has the explanation. In addition to being a storyteller, she is the artistic director of the Hans Christian Andersen Storytelling Center in New York, a humanitarian, writer, and educator. “A Little Princess” by Catherine Taylor (10:22)This story is from Catherine Taylor. She has a PhD in the History of Art from the University of Manchester, and her studies center on images of women in early Christian contexts. Here she talks about what led her to such a discipline and the meaning she derives from the art of those women. It all started when she was a young girl who loved to daydream. Those dreams let her participate in new worlds. Now she explores the worlds of other's creations. 

“Pride cometh before the fall,” an old Spanish proverb says. But what is pride, and how do we steer clear of it? Today's collection of stories discusses issues of pride, and the victories or consequences related to it. Featured are fun anecdotes of raging elephants, tricksters, and cowboy poetry from storytellers Judith Black, Laura Simms, Dan Deding, Norah Dooley, Joe Harrington, and Jim Bruchac, leaving a lesson with us to Beware of Pride. On today's episode, enjoy the following:“The Three Strong Women of Japan” by Judith Black from Blooming (19:10)A wrestler named Forever-Mountain considers himself the mightiest sumo wrestler in all the land – until he meets a sweet young woman on his travels. When this young woman and her mother and grandmother easily defeat him, he realizes that he has a thing or two to learn from them. “Nalagiri” by Laura Simms from Making Peace—Heart Uprising (8:06)When  a riled Nalagiri is sent to destroy the Buddha, the Buddha must tame the elephant by extending his kindness and friendliness. “Nasrudin and the Wise Man” by Dan Keding from Wisdom and Wayfaring (1:24)Nasrudin, a Persian folktale character,  encounters a man who thinks he has learned all there is to know in life – until Nasrudin points out one important missing skill... “Talkative Turtle” by Norah Dooley from World Folk Tales (2:47)Talkative Turtle makes his escape from hunters  by hitching a ride with two cranes – with one caveat – that he must keep his mouth closed. As you can guess from the title, we'll see how long that lasts...  “Trail Boss Test” by Joe Harrington from Men of Honor (3:38)What happens when an upstart cowboy thinks he knows better than the trail boss? We'll see what wise words the trail boss will impart! “The Beast” by Dan Keding from In a Dead Man's Company (6:28)You're all familiar with the story of Beauty and the Beast! Dan Keding gives us a spin on this “tale as old as time"  from the Beast's perspective! "Bear and Brown Squirrel" by Jim Bruchac from Northeastern Native American Animal Stories (8:02)Here's a great reminder about humility. In this story from Jim Bruchac, a bragging bear who can 'do anything', is challenged by a squirrel to demand the sun not to rise.

Often times we're told to follow our hearts, but what happens when our hearts lead us astray? In today's story by Peter J. Parker, a good king has to learn this lesson when he finds a new queen that slowly begins to show her true colors over time. In the end, it takes a dragon, a knight, and of course, true love to conquer the wicked queen. We'll also hear stories by Laura Simms and Alton Chung. On today's episode of The Apple Seed, enjoy the following:“Punia and Kaialeale” by Alton Chung on Tales from Lanai (12:21)When Punia and his mother want lobsters for dinner, Punia sets out to get some from the nearby sea, however this requires swimming through the evil shark Kaialeale and his minions.  “Dragon Castle” by Peter J. Parker on Panrly the Wizard (17:37)When the good king sets out to find a new wife, he falls deeply in love with a woman who gives him a “special love potion” every night. But when she throws a huge ball, the king, the princess, and a certain young knight find themselves in serious trouble.  “The Black Prince” by Laura Simms on Making Peace - Heart Uprising (15:56)When Laura showed up for a storytelling gig, it's not what she expected and she's tempted to leave as soon as she can. But a particular man in the crowd catches her eye and Laura can tell that this man needs a story. So she tells the story of a flute player in ancient Egypt... "The Sausage" by Sam Payne (5:22)What would you do with three wishes? Would you wish for something grand for yourself or others? Or would you just end up wasting them, just like the protagonists of this old story?

Laura Simms and I have been traveling parallel Pivot paths for a while now — nearly a decade of tracking each other’s work, but finally for the first time speaking live, 1:1! Of course we hit it off as fast friends, as we discuss ageism, passion vs. purpose, and working through insecurities when navigating career pivots. Laura is an expert in meaningful work who challenges conventional wisdom by asking people to ditch their passions and start with purpose. She’s the creator of Your Career Homecoming, a celebrated career change program that helps people discover the meaningful work that’s right for them.  Laura’s colorful career history includes a history degree, an MFA in acting, getting fired from a dream project, quitting multiple jobs (including one after the first day), teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and a successful career as an actor where she worked on network television, performed in every state on the Eastern seaboard, received multiple callbacks from Cirque du Soleil, and shared a sound booth with Sandra Oh. She lives in Atlanta with her husband and son, where she loves walking in the woods and trying to find the best whiskey cocktail in town.

What happens when you come to the point with your work where you ask: is this what I want anymore? Maybe it was a dream job at one point. Maybe it was something you want to school for and have worked hard to attain. Maybe it's just where you ended up. Regardless of how you've gotten here, the questions are the same: is this what I want?  If not than what?  How will I find out?  What will I have to do?  Can I even make that kind of change? These are the kind of things I got to dig into with my guest today, Laura Simms.  The moment I found Laura's site, I knew we had to speak.  We're working on the same problem and using much of the same language. In this interview we dig into her process of going from being a professional actor to what she does now: helping people find work that feels like home. She offers some of her framework for thinking about these big questions and gives us some great places to dig in and start finding traction. I found Laura to be so open and easy to talk to.  Our time went by so fast.  I hope you enjoy her as much as I did. In this episode you'll learn: How to find a meaningful career? What is Laura's career focus? How she identified what she wanted to do? Where she was in her career when she took a pivot? What questions she asked herself in that lead her to make a change? What is the “Decay of Meaning” for Laura? Laura's thoughts about giving up her dream. How she answered the question, “Is this what I want?”  What are “Through Lines” and what do they have to do with your journey? Why people fear change? How to handle career regrets? Who Laura works with? How she defines Meaning in life? The difference between a skill and a strength. How to find the right passion that pays? What "Building the life that you want" means? Her words of wisdom for the people who want to get started. Show notes at: https://themeaningmovement.com/laura/

The dread of the real world was pressing down on Laura Simms while she was in college. She decided she’d hate herself if she didn’t try to make a career of acting. The Knoxville, Tenn. native started out loving the L.A. shuffle. She was driven, committed, and swore she’d never be one of those people who blew up their dream and moved back home to nowhere. She put all her energy and resources into her career, but it soon moved from feeling like a commitment to being a sacrifice. She had a crisis of meaning, and dove deep into uncovering her why so she could pursue a career she’d truly love.

Morgen Reynolds has been telling stories for most of her life! She remembers tying on a bandana and lying upside down, with magic marker "eyes" painted on her chin to perform "Wide Mouth Frog" for her friends. It was a huge hit. When her oldest, now 14, was a toddler, he had an endless appetite for stories. He would give her three animals and a place and she had to create a story off the top of her head. Eventually, she had to create story "tickets" that he would use to "buy" a story. There had to be some rationing. That grew to telling at family reunions, and soon after--"Miss Mo" was born. Morgen started performing on stage when she was 12 years old and dreamed of being a professional actress. That is a difficult dream to realize--especially with three kids! Storytelling came to her as a way to perform on her time, with total control over the content. She just started telling stories, without realizing that there is a storytelling world out there! Now she has performed at festivals, attends workshops, and teaches storytelling to others. Some of the most powerful storytelling occurs in the unplanned moments. The experiences around the dinner table that start with, "Did I ever tell you about that time when I was a kid that I. . . . " That's when you've got them! Kids love to hear stories, especially about the grownups in their lives, and especially if it involves the grownups in their lives getting into some trouble! Those stories, told honestly, have far more power than any sermon we could attend. Morgen is using modern technology to spread the art of storytelling. She has a YouTube channel with playlists of stories geared towards school aged children. She is also on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. Living in rural Montana makes traveling to live performances difficult, but she has high hopes of building her online brand and connecting with children and adults all over the world through the power of story. Here we go with Miss Mo! Storytelling festivals are LEGIT! If you do a google search, you will find one near you, and they look amazing! I am seriously excited to check these out! Here are some festivals Morgen mentioned: National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN: http://www.storytellingcenter.net/festival/ Mount Timpanogos Storytelling Festival: https://timpfest.org More festivals: http://www.sostoryfest.com/festivals.html Storytellers Morgen tells us about: Laura Simms http://www.laurasimms.com Bil Lepp https://www.leppstorytelling.com Kim Weitkamp http://www.kimweitkamp.com Sam Payne https://www.sampayne.com/home The Moth on NPR https://www.themoth.org Jane Yolen Folktales http://janeyolen.com/works/favorite-folktales-from-around-the-world/ Why Storytelling: Stories connect families, our past, our identity, our experiences. Our stories are what make up our family culture. Storytelling is also a way to develop cognitive skills as a means of working our brains to remember things, which is why storytelling is so cultural. Storytelling is how family history and culture is perpetuated because they are easier to remember. Stories help us learn about conflict resolution, and connect us with the heroes in the stories, too. Storytelling and The Well-Educated Heart with Marlene Peterson http://librariesofhope.com/storytelling.html A way of keeping track of your family stories is with a five year journal, where you write down a line each day and then you come to it for five years recording one line each day. It's a great way to capture the snippets of life over a long time period. You listened to the end of the episode so you get to listen to a special treat! I posted a special audio of my 3-year old and me singing a song together while I was putting her to bed one night. You can only access it https://youtu.be/7P7Xpjnocdo (here, this link).

Laura Simms is an expert in modern, meaningful careers who challenges conventional wisdom by asking people to ditch their passions and start with purpose. After struggling through her own career transition, Laura developed Your Career Homecoming, her signature career change process, to help people find careers that feel like home. This unorthodox curriculum sidesteps the familiar refrains to either “follow your passion” or “be practical” by emphasizing service, legacy, and each individual’s personal relationship to purpose. Working with clients internationally, Laura is proving that the purpose-driven approach leads to meaningful, profitable careers. She reluctantly lives in Texas and loves spending time on the front porch with her husband, son, friends, and guitar. In this episode Laura explains how finding a meaning in our new career is the driving force to a fulfilled life and talks about these points: - Why you shouldn’t follow your passion - How to find meaningful work - What the new paradigm of work looks like today - Practical steps to take when changing careers Pauline gives some interesting examples of her own career changes during menopause and gives some heart warming stories about her father. As an extra in this episode, Laura also gives us a lovely rendition of a lullaby she sings for her son. You can find out more about Laura Simms at: http://www.withlaurasimms.com

It's such a pleasure to have Laura Simms join the show this week! Laura is a career Coach and an expert in meaningful work, and she's the creator of the truly amazing "Your Career Homecoming" program that helps women find work that feels like home. I really love Laura's open and easy going nature, and getting to chat with her felt like talking to a friend. She's relatable, down to earth, and the fact that she has changed careers from one that she was truly passionate about (acting), to one that feels more purposeful and rewarding (career coach), really spoke to me. I have an knack for landing plenty of jobs, and love that she helps clients focus on "the why" (the purpose, legacy, contribution, service, impact they're making) before they ever get to thinking about "the what" (abilities, strengths, things you can do), or "the how" (environment, the work pace, your leadership role, how much you're paid) of what that career looks like.

This week on Raise Your Hand Say Yes, I'm talking with Laura Simms once again. Last time she was on the show, we talked about passion and purpose.

You guys. I adore Laura Simms! This interview was so fun to do because 1. Laura is my friend and 2. She is so smart!
