In this episode, I’m joined by Chani Becker, a creative, a mama, and a storyteller. We talk about Chani’s background in art, her journey to becoming a creative professional, and her recent work in teaching and illustrating. She also shares insights into the psychological and archetypal symbolism in fairytales, specifically the story of "Blue Beard." We explore how these tales can offer profound self-understanding and even healing.

• Working with Creatives: Her collaboration with Chani highlights how teamwork can lead to the development of significant and fruitful projects, as evidenced by their joint efforts in designing book covers and fostering creative growth.
• Importance of Education in Art: She talks about how understanding core principles like design elements, critique, and feedback processes can deeply enhance one's ability to create meaningful and impactful art.
• Relationship Between Stories and Ourselves: The discussion about Carl Jung's psychological perspectives on fairy tales provides insights into understanding the deeper meanings behind stories. It explains how characters and symbols in stories can be reflective of various aspects of an individual's psyche, which can lead to personal insights and self-discovery.
• The Bridge Between Fairy Tales and Reality: The tale of Blue Beard, when interpreted through a psychological lens, imparts a lesson on confronting and overcoming internal barriers or negative aspects of oneself. It teaches the necessity of facing inner fears and truths to achieve self-awareness and personal growth.
