Season 2 | Ep 6 | The Twelve Months | A Greek Folktale

Golpo | Stories From Around the World

A New Year could mean different things to different people. For you a new year may be your birthday, the turn of the calendar year or the financial year, a new beginning or a day when you leave the old to begin the new.

This week, I have the perfect new year story that you can listen & share in the classroom, living room or the boardroom. The Twelve Months is a Greek Folktale with a predictable end. In this story, I don’t really end the story and so I invite you to tell it back to me.

Like with other stories in this podcast, this story is most useful as a trigger inviting listeners to share their stories, plans and aspirations for the new year. How you look at the 12 months that have gone by or the 12 that you will begin now, is all that matters.

Here’s wishing the listeners of the podcast a very Happy New Year. This week, we opened the podcast to listener reviews. Our first reviewer is Ruchi Arora, a Yoga enthusiast, an entrepreneur and a storyteller. Ruchi is one of the members of YSB Tribe of Storytellers. If you are a listener of the podcast, I would love to hear from you. We are a month into the second season of this podcast and I am excited to share stories all along the year.
