Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we take a look at the fairy tale "The Valiant Tailor" or the "The Brave Tailor," collected by the Brothers Grimm. Honestly, I almost dismissed this story as a bit too silly and I didn't like the tailor much at the outset. But what you don't like about a story can be a good prod to look more closely...The tailor's adventures opened reflections on trickster strategies, courage, and the power of imagination. All useful bits to put in your pocket when you're ready to leave home.Special thanks to Gary Diggins for granting me permission to include his story about leaving home in this episode.Support the showEmail Catherine at [email protected] a positive review on apple podcasts!
