Welcome back to Within the Glasswood Forest!

In this episode, Jonathon Guidry, CEO & Co-Founder of Glasswood Storyworks, and children’s author writing as Eden J. Spark & M. Rose, invites listeners to pause and rediscover something we often lose as adults — our imagination. Joined quietly by his daughter in the studio, Jonathon reflects on the creative spark that fuels both storytelling and family life.

From building treehouses as a child to watching his own kids turn a simple red potato into a magical treasure, Rediscovering Imagination reminds us that creativity isn’t just for children — it’s a shared language of connection, joy, and purpose.

This episode explores Glasswood’s newest creative projects, introduces a few of the talented authors joining the Storyworks family, and dives into how imagination shapes parenting, teaching, leadership, and creative work. Through humor, reflection, and real family moments, listeners are encouraged to step away from the rush of life and reconnect with their own sense of wonder.

Whether you’re a parent hoping to nurture creativity at home, a teacher looking to inspire your classroom, or an author rediscovering why you write — this conversation will leave you inspired to dream again.

✨ Rediscovering Imagination captures the essence of what Glasswood Storyworks stands for: planting wonder, nurturing creativity, and growing imagination for children, parents, and creators alike.
