We’ve reached the second half of Lady Tremaine, and what a journey it’s been!
As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that this isn’t simply a retelling of Cinderella. It’s an exploration of motherhood, fear, identity, inherited wounds, and the cultural stories that quietly shape our lives.
This week we’ll explore questions like:
When does protecting the people we love become more about easing our own fears than serving their growth?
What happens when we spend years living in survival mode?
How do shame and fear get passed from one generation to the next?
What expectations are we carrying that were never truly ours?
And what does it take to step outside the roles we’ve been given and create a life that is genuinely our own?
Whether you loved the ending, wrestled with it, or are still trying to make sense of it, I know you'll enjoy this conversation. This novel invites us to examine the expectations we've placed on ourselves and others, the roles we've inherited or accepted without question, and what becomes possible when we choose freedom over convention.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and spend the afternoon exploring this remarkable novel together.
