In today’s episode, we explore how stepmoms are painted in traditional fairy tales versus reality. Georgina’s book consists of 12 original fairy tales, each shifting the narrative to champion the stepmother as a positive influence.
We'll also discuss the historical stigma attached to the title of stepmother and how Georgina aims to dismantle the overly clinical and negative discourse surrounding stepfamilies.
Georgina acknowledges that while rebellion against stepparents is common among teens, her own relationship with her stepmother improved through shared responsibilities, experiences, and a broader supportive community. She advocates for a similar approach in nurturing positive stepfamily relationships.
Georgina Warren is a graduate of Christopher Newport University, where she majored in French, and recently received her Master of Library and Information Science degree from the Catholic University of America. She lives in Washington, D.C., and currently works at the Library of Congress.
Homeschooled until she was fifteen, she later attended the British School of Washington and the Field School, where she first cultivated her profound love of the literary, visual, and performing arts, and pursued her vision to become a writer, artist, and actor. Tales of Virtuous Stepmothers is the first installment of what will eventually be a three-volume collection.

What would you give to not have your kids or stepkids argue, fight or resist going to bed every night?
I remember when our kids were young, there were times when it seemed to take forever to have them go to bed, let alone fall asleep. Bedtime meant alone time for me and my husband not to mention the health benefits of our kids, making sure they had enough sleep.
On Today’s podcast, I’m talking with Brook Packard, a writer, musician and an early childhood educator who created the Sleepytime Club which makes bedtime simple for families, helping parents reclaim their evenings. She believes bedtime is the first, best habit; a moment of grace to us every single night; and that we can change the world for the better by using this time to care for ourselves and our families and communities.
