🔍 Episode Synopsis
Episode Title: Belle’s Hidden Legacy: Magic, Sacrifice, and Sovereignty
Season 2, Episode 1 | Host: Spring Sage
Season 2 opens with a story you thought you knew.
In this solo episode, Spring retells Beauty and the Beast through its original lens — long before Disney’s musical numbers and rose-tinted rebellion. We return to 18th-century France, where women gathered in candlelit salons to encode truth into fairytales: power disguised as metaphor, warnings wrapped in wonder.
Together, we’ll explore the deeper damsel pattern hidden in Belle’s tale — how love, legacy, and survival get tangled in the feminine nervous system, and why so many of us keep waiting for a Beast to change.
Because the real enchantment isn’t in the castle.
It’s in the story we keep living.
Though this is a solo episode, you’ll hear Rich Orndoff’s voice helping bring the tale to life in our retelling — because some spells are better broken with two voices at the door.
🗝 Remember: You are the guide of your experience, and your pace is sacred.
📖 Fairytale Source
This episode draws inspiration from the 1740 and 1756 versions of Beauty and the Beast — written by Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve and later abridged by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont. Both versions are in the public domain.
