About this listen

Welcome to Folklore & Flourish.

In today’s episode, we enter The Betrayal—the moment when trust is broken and love is forced to reckon with pain. Across folklore, betrayal is not only an act of harm; it is a rupture that exposes truth, vulnerability, and the cost of devotion.

Drawing from Greek, Welsh, Hindu, and Japanese traditions, today’s stories explore lovers deceived, bonds shattered, and promises undone. From Medea’s abandonment to echoes of treachery that linger across lifetimes, these myths remind us that love wounds deeply because it mattered deeply.

This episode invites reflection on the betrayals that still echo within us. Not to justify them. Not to explain them away. But to acknowledge what was lost, what was broken, and what still asks to be witnessed.

Rooted in folklore, spirituality, and reflective practice, this episode holds space for grief without spectacle—and for healing that begins only when truth is named.

This podcast honors stories as they were told and the wisdom they carry, offering space for reflection, reckoning, and restoration.
