Bake a cake, wear your hoodie, greet the sun and clouds. These are things you can control. And then there are things you can’t. Life’s messes.  COVID is raging, cancer has been raging, and racism and injustice have always been raging, so it matters that we explore real lives and the magic that helps them through. 

In Ash and Feather, We will imagine a family with a Duck, an Eagle and a daughter who is a Phoenix!  At first it sounds strange, not possible, until you look in your family and realize there are people who look very different from you, think differently, and learn differently. And somehow, you make it work, or you come to a crossroads of choices to make... Everyday in our world, ducks and eagles get together in spite of what society says and they struggle, but they also love, and they have little phoenixes who also struggle, but laugh, and rise in spite of everything.

In this episode, Phoenix and her two dads, Eagle and Duck, navigate learning that Eagle has brain cancer.
