Think back to the story of Peter Pan, and more specifically the character of Wendy Darling, Peter's friend who accompanies him to Neverland. She's the eldest and most mature of the Darling siblings, and acts as a mother figure to Peter too. You could definitely describe her as caring, nurturing, responsible and self-sacrificing. Well those may sound like totally positive characteristics, but there is a flipside too. There are a lot of caring, nurturing people out there who just constantly need to satisfy others and tend to neglect themselves as a consequence. Who coined the term “Wendy Syndrome” to describe such people ? Is it a natural inclination? Is it similar to emotional labor ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Luke Lezon's ministry path hasn't followed a straight line. Fresh out of college, he received several unique preaching opportunities – only to watch them quickly disappear. Later, in the wake of a painful church split in Orlando, Luke was thrust into the lead pastor role at just twenty-nine years old. This week, he joins Nate Dewberry to talk candidly about seasons that tested his faith and leadership, and the lessons God used to shape him through it: learning humility, balancing work and family, and finding a renewed willingness to understand and forgive others.Segments/chapters0:00 Intro/Luke's upbringing and call to ministry7:57 Humbled by the Lord in a season of youthful arrogance12:40 Luke's unusual path to his current role in ministry21:08 Leading a church in a big city/Mentors and role models30:28 Raising a family while running a church34:54 What's on Luke's current reading list39:52 Regular practices for spiritual growth44:56 A key message to listeners: “Don't be Peter Pan”Visit The Redeemed's website for downloadable discussion question sets, show notes, inspirational articles, more resources, or to share your testimony.Join our Exclusive Newsletter: Signup today and be the first to get notified on upcoming podcasts and new resources!The Redeemed is an organization giving men from all backgrounds a supportive, judgment-free environment, grounded in Christian love without demanding participation in any faith tradition, where they can open up about their challenges, worries, and failures—and celebrate their triumphs over those struggles.

Throw some invisible food and get ready to never grow up as we fly into 1991's Hook. Why was the media of the 80s and 90s so full of daddy issues?

A Little Greek, A Little Sci-Fi 2025 kicked off my goal of reading the great books of Western Civilization. So in typical fashion I read a little Greek, a little sci-fi, and a smattering of everything else. Indiepub still factored into the list with some hits and misses, just like the tradpubs. As always, the goal we should all have isn’t quantity it’s quality. But quality doesn’t just mean classic great books, it means books you enjoy and changes you and allows you to experience escapism and learn more about God’s world as He is the ultimate storyteller.

These experiences inspired his passion for developing young leaders. In his book The Future Begins with Z, Elmore explores Generation Z's unique challenges and potential in the workforce, introducing the “Peter Pan paradox”—where their authority rises as maturity lags. He encourages leaders to listen, coach, and view Gen Z as “the sandpaper on my leadership I didn't know I needed,” helping refine and strengthen today's leaders.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

Vous connaissez la belle histoire : celle de l'enfant qui ne voulait pas grandir et qui persuade la jolie Wendy de le suivre au pays imaginaire. Mais, le duo Peter et Wendy cache une réalité bien plus sombre... Entre syndrome, psychologie et relation toxique, nous allons vous raconter l'envers du décors de ce duo mythique de Disney. Le cercle infernal d'une relation toxique Après la victoire de Pan contre le Capitaine Crochet, Wendy regarde son héros avec des yeux encore plus brillants que d'habitude. Elle prend sans doute cet acte de bravoure comme une preuve d'amour de la part de Peter. Et si Wendy, malgré ses sentiments envers Peter, avait finalement envie de rentrer chez ses parents ? La laissera-t-il libre de ses choix, ou l'enfermera-t-il encore davantage dans ses filets ?

Vous connaissez la belle histoire : celle de l'enfant qui ne voulait pas grandir et qui persuade la jolie Wendy de le suivre au pays imaginaire. Mais, le duo Peter et Wendy cache une réalité bien plus sombre... Entre syndrome, psychologie et relation toxique, nous allons vous raconter l'envers du décors de ce duo mythique de Disney. Maman Wendy Peter Pan considère qu'il n'a jamais eu de maman. Il a toujours cherché une figure maternelle de substitution. Lorsqu'il arrive chez les Darling, le "capitaine" de Neverland confie sans attendre à sa nouvelle amie Wendy : "Je viens souvent chez toi, le soir à ta fenêtre pour écouter les histoires que ta maman vous raconte parce que moi, je ne connais pas d'histoires." Il insiste : "Nous n'avons pas de maman." Il voit en Wendy, au visage céleste et au caractère apaisé, la figure maternelle dont il a toujours manqué et rêvé.

Many Disney films adapt works from the Victorian period, which is often called the Golden Age of children's literature. Animating the Victorians: Disney's Literary History (University Press of Mississippi, 2025) explores Disney's adaptations of Victorian texts like Alice in Wonderland, Oliver Twist, Treasure Island, Peter Pan, and the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Author Patrick C. Fleming traces those adaptations from initial concept to theatrical release and beyond to the sequels, consumer products, and theme park attractions that make up a Disney franchise. During the production process, which often extended over decades, Disney's writers engaged not just with the texts themselves but with the contexts in which they were written, their authors' biographies, and intervening adaptations. To reveal that process, Fleming draws on preproduction reports, press releases, and unfinished drafts, including materials in the Walt Disney Company Archives, some of which have not yet been discussed in print. But the relationship between Disney and the Victorians goes beyond adaptations. Walt Disney himself had a similar career to the Victorian author-entrepreneur Charles Dickens. Linking the Disney Princess franchise to Victorian ideologies shows how gender and sexuality are constantly being renegotiated. Disney's animated musicals, theme parks, copyright practices, and even marketing campaigns depend on cultural assumptions, legal frameworks, and media technologies that emerged in nineteenth-century England. Moreover, Disney's adaptations influence modern students and scholars of the Victorian period. By applying scholarship in Victorian studies to a global company, Fleming shows how institutions mediate our understanding of the past and demonstrates the continued relevance of literary studies in a corporate media age. An audiobook will be available in January 2026. Patrick C. Fleming is a scholar of Victorian studies and children's literature. Peter C. Kunze is an assistant professor of communication at Tulane University. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mais, le duo Peter et Wendy cache une réalité bien plus sombre... Entre syndrome, psychologie et relation toxique, nous allons vous raconter l'envers du décors de ce duo mythique de Disney. Le garçon qui ne voulait pas grandir Pour ne pas grandir, Peter Pan s'est créé un monde. A Neverland, le temps n'existe pas, à la demande de Peter. Si le temps n'existe pas, le temps ne passe pas et l'enfance devient donc éternelle… Dis comme ça, ça fait sourire. Pourtant, si on creuse un peu, Peter Pan n'a pas juste l'intention de rester enfant. Il est carrément angoissé à l'idée même de quitter la tendre enfance et de devenir adulte. On ne l'appelle pas "le garçon qui ne voulait pas grandir" pour rien… En fait, ce phénomène porte même un nom : "le syndrome de Peter Pan", ou encore "le complexe de Peter Pan".

Is it wrong of me to say if Amanda doesn't divorce Kyle I don't need to see their relationship anymore? Does anyone want to see the Peter Pans of Charleston of anymore....?

In this lecture, given on Monday 15th December 2025, Dr Lucy Oulton (University of Chichester), Murdoch's enduring relationship with the figure of Peter Pan is discussed: her talk is titled '‘An Ousted Gabriel': Iris Murdoch and the Enduring Allure of Peter Pan' Wendy and Peter Pan, a stage adaptation of the J.M. Barrie novel Peter and Wendy, embraces a key detail from Barrie's own childhood, dealing sensitively with the topic of child loss. The play foregrounds Wendy's attempts to come to terms with the loss of a (third) brother, while her parents are overwhelmed by grief. Iris Murdoch's fascination with Peter Pan is well documented. Cheryl Bove and Anne Rowe observe that she ‘most heavily depends on the Peter Pan myth […] in relationships which lack warmth, connections and love'. My talk focuses on three of Murdoch's fictional daughters who attempt to fathom their own circumstances in a shifting state of adolescence. I explore Murdoch's ideation of the girls in relation to this cultural icon, and her incisive understanding of what it means to grow up. Lucy is a Associate at the Iris Murdoch Research Centre at the University of Chichester and her first monograph, Iris Murdoch's Wild Imagination: Nature and the Environment was published earlier this year. She is an editor of the Iris Murdoch Review and has lectured intentionally on Murdoch's life and work.

Vivre dans un monde imaginaire Les personnages de Peter Pan et Wendy semblent avoir été créés pour le plus grand bonheur des plus jeunes par un auteur qui n'aurait jamais perdu son âme d'enfant. Malheureusement, il n'en est rien. L'image du petit farceur aventurier vivant dans un monde féérique n'est qu'une invention de Disney. En réalité, c'est l'auteur James Matthew Barrie qui a donné vie au duo… marqué par une enfance sordide.

"Les filles sont plus matures que les garçons", cet argument nous est rabâché depuis toujours, souvent suivi d'une explication scientifique pas toujours fiable. Résultat, la tendance est à la dé-responsabilisation côté garçon, on pardonne plus facilement des comportements enfantins chez les hommes et même à l'âge adulte, augmentant la charge mentale pour les femmes. Même s'il n'est pas reconnu officiellement comme une maladie clinique, le “syndrome de l'incapable”, oups pardon, le "syndrome de Peter Pan" , identifié par le psychanalyste américain Dan Kiley dans les années 1980, constitue une sorte d'excuse pour expliquer les comportements immature des hommes rendant la vie de leur compagne très difficile. Quelles sont les caractéristiques du “man-child” ? Est-ce que la situation s'empire quand on habite avec ? Que faire pour ne pas subir ces comportements ?

Get ready for story time. Before we get to that, though, we’ve got to do a little Horror Business. In Real World Horror, we discuss a woman who was almost buried alive, or worse. We then go on to talk about a movie being called “American Psycho meets An American Werewolf in London,” as well as ANOTHER Paranormal Activity movie. We also break down a team-up of two horror legends, a horror biopic about a Rat Pack member and the Church of Satan, and a video game adaptation from a famous content creator. Then, get ready to have your childhood ruined as we review two new twisted fairy tales from the creators of the… sigh… Poohniverse. Prepare to sprinkle a little fairy dust and think happy thoughts because we’ve got the most sinister Lost Boy ever in Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare. This is followed by a deadly doe with a taste for blood and a bone to pick in Bambi: The Reckoning. So pull up a pillow and a cup of cocoa and prepare to have your nostalgia turned to nightmares with The Grave Plot Podcast!
Bangarang! Emilio, Madeline, and Julian fly, fight, and crow their way through this next "Unorthodox Holiday Movie" suggestion, and this is a special one, a movie suggested to them by multiple guests - "Hook", Steven Spielberg's take on the story of Peter Pan, released in 1991 starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Julia Roberts and more. The group welcomes back Tony-nominated performer, teacher, father, and "Hook" enthusiast and suggester Rob McClure to discuss this film from all angles. How do you square your experiences with the film as a kid versus revisiting it as an adult? Does Spielberg have good reason to dislike it? How much Peter Pan background is needed to fully enjoy 'Hook', or does it stand alone? The group discusses Spielberg's knack for getting great performances from children, Robin Williams' incredible range, Rufio's undeniable appeal, the elaborate sets, John Williams' underrated score, and its messages related to parenthood. Rob even brings a robust background in the J.M. Barrie's original text (and a collectible trading card) to the conversation, and even pulls out his highlighted copy to try to get to bottom of a pressing question. It's a great discussion about one of the 1990s most rewatched VHS tapes, and more beloved childhood favorites. Rob McClure has earned Tony nominations for his roles in the Broadway productions of Mrs. Doubtfire and Chaplin, and has also appeared in Something Rotten!, Mary Poppins, Hello Dolly, Beetlejuice, and many more productions On- and Off-Broadway.

“Please Do Not Touch the Fence. You'll Get Zapped. And the Goats Will Laugh at You.”That is the advice the banner gives. Standing behind that banner, and a little to the right, are a group of goats who are clearly encouraging you to touch the fence. You can see it in their eyes and in the smirk at the corners of their little goat mouths.All of that was in the photo that arrived with a text from my friend, Dan, along with this note.“We have a new side-venture that uses goats as a land clearing crew for hire, and recently have set up a mobile cam to keep an eye on them while on the job.”Although I do make up things for a living, I promise I am not making this up.Twenty-three minutes later, I received another text from another friend.“I have a problem. Do you know in ‘Peter Pan' where Peter loses his shadow. I've seem to have lost my shadow. I used to be a very creative person. Somewhere over the last 5 years due to life's circumstances I seem to have misplaced my creativity. I feel almost certain that I began giving out far more than I was taking in. I lost my wonder and my awe for the world. I'm not learning and growing, and it has caught up with me. If you have any insight or direction, it would be truly helpful. Thanks friend.”I responded, “Is this for real?”My friend said, “Yes, for real.”I said, “You need to have a place to escape. A good fiction book can take you into an alternate reality where you don't have any obligations, or people who need something from you. Buy a copy of ‘Cryptonomicon' by Neal Stephenson. You'll meet a guy named Shaftoe. I've known him for more than 20 years.”My friend said, “Thank you. I'll tell him you said hello.”Both of those texts arrived, “Ping… Ping,” shortly after I posted the second restaurant review I have ever written.Heads Up, friends!Real pizza ovens. Real flames. Real char on the bottom of the crazy-good crust. You'll never be the same. This pizza is SO GOOD that it's illegal in 7 states and under investigation in 12 more. So good you'll walk outside and look up at the stars and howl at the moon like a werewolf.I have reviewed very few things during my 67 years because, frankly, there just aren't that many things out there that are really remarkable. DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana is remarkable. Not the atmosphere. It's plain, plain, plain. Nothing special. But the food is MAGNIFICO! (On Slaughter just west of Mopac, in front of Alamo Drafthouse.) And the people who work there are definitely part of the magic. They are excited about what they are doing, and their excitement is contagious.We ordered a spinach salad. Best spinach salad I've ever had! I mean that. And big enough for two people. I looked at my wife (We're having our 50th anniversary next year) and I said, “These people are buying ONLY the very best ingredients. They's spending their money on the food, not the decor.” (We were both smiling so hard for so long that my face aches.)Order the Verdura pizza. Be aware that it does NOT have marinara sauce. You'll be throwing rocks at marinara sauce after you've eaten the Verdura. It's really simple: perfect crust, extraordinary cheese, fresh spinach, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic. HEAVEN.Or you can go old school and get a pizza...

The Mousedebaters talk Disney Scores On this from-the-vault episode of Mousedebaters, we put our Disney ears to the test with a showdown of famous-but-weirdly-hard-to-place film scores.You know these cues. You've heard them a thousand times. You can hum the melody perfectly… but is it actually from Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty?Is that soaring adventure theme Peter Pan… or Rescuers Down Under? And why does this haunting oboe sound like it could be from The Jungle Book or Aladdin? Kami, Brittany, and Luke compete to see who can correctly match these classic Disney tracks to the right films — and who's just guessing with confidence and vibes.If your brain stores Disney music like one big folder labeled “Childhood,” this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar. As always we're PG-13 Disney nonsense, for grown up ears only!
Think Gen Z is a headache? Tim Elmore says they're actually the sandpaper your leadership didn't know it needed. One minute they're flying with pixie dust, the next they're struggling with "adulting." That's the Peter Pan paradox. In this episode, we dig into why authority today comes from a bridge, not a badge. Why Gen Z hops jobs like lily pads. And why the secret to keeping them isn't perks, it's relationships and trust. Tim unpacks how to give feedback without crushing them (the A.L.E.G. model), why work might be the cure for the loneliest generation, and how NASA's moonshot is the leadership blueprint we need right now. This isn't about lowering the bar. It's about leading different, listening longer, and coaching more.

Send us a textThe Mickeyphile Podcast — Episode 241: Disneyland at 70: Disneyland Hotel and “Same but Different” RidesWe're back with another chapter in our ongoing celebration of Disneyland's 70th Birthday—because after five nights, endless snacks, and enough California rain to qualify as a water feature, clearly we weren't done yet.In this episode, we dive deeper into our stay at the historic Disneyland Hotel, where nostalgia reigns supreme and the carpet patterns are… a bold artistic statement. We also revisit our attempts to enjoy nighttime entertainment that was, once again, completely drenched. Magical? Yes. Dry? Absolutely not.We continue our quest for the full 70th Key and MagicBand+ activities, also known as “collect them all even though our feet are staging a protest.” From charming classics like Alice in Wonderland and Snow White's Enchanted Wish, to the “same but different” versions of our Walt Disney World favorites—Pirates of the Caribbean, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and Peter Pan's Flight—we break down what surprised us, what confused us, and what made us question our internal theme-park GPS.Plus, we sprinkle in updates about the Holidays at Walt Disney World and a few other bits of Disney news that caught our eye this week.All that—and whatever else we manage to get distracted by—on Episode 241 of The Mickeyphile Podcast.

Every man casts a shadow his family lives in for generations. Is yours one of leadership or influence? Discover the difference that changes everything. ABOUT THIS EPISODE In this powerful King's Corner segment, Lovey explores the critical difference between leadership and influence for men, husbands, and fathers.

When employers say “26 is the new 18,” what they're really noticing is Tim Elmore's Peter Pan paradox in action: the age of authority is dropping while the age of maturity is rising. In this energizing conversation, Tim and Ginny decode Gen Z's “magic and tragic”—their native fluency with tech and AI alongside lagging people skills—and offer hopeful, practical ways to coach rather than complain. You'll hear why childlikeness is fading while childishness expands, how social media turned from connection to performance, and why soft skills (read: people skills) will be the ultimate edge in the AI age. Listen for simple, family-ready reps—hosting adults, letting kids own their schedules, building EQ—and workplace plays like great first days, hobby-like projects, and leading with empathy. We also get real about the gig economy, shrinking loyalty ladders, and why teens need margin, movement, mindfulness, and management to protect mental health and grow grit. You'll leave with language that reframes Gen Z from “problem” to “potential,” and with concrete steps for parents, teachers, and team leaders to build self-awareness, social awareness, and emotional regulation in everyday life. Leaders are dealers of hope—start here, share this episode with a friend who's wrestling with Gen Z, and model the future you want your kids to inherit.
