Our theme for August is “Tales Across Cultures” – a month-long dive into stories that transcend place and exist in multiple cultures throughout the years. Today’s episode, we’re looking at a story about the hundred year nap we all crave: Sleeping Beauty. Nearly every culture has a story about a girl who sleeps. Not just naps or dreams. But falls into a long, deep, magical sleep. She’s the enchanted princess. The girl behind the thorns. The beauty with the curse. And she doesn’t wake on her own. She’s kissed, rescued, awakened, by fate, by magic, by a prince. But where does she come from? Is Sleeping Beauty just a French fairy tale? A Disney cartoon? Or is she something older—something deeper? A story about time. About danger. About girlhood frozen in place… waiting for the world to shift. Let’s open the gate, walk through the thorns, and uncover what really lies behind the sleep.
