    Taming the Big Bad Wolf: How Childhood Stories Shape Our Understanding of Nature w/Leokadia George | S. 4, Ep. 06

    From Little Red Riding Hood to The Three Little Pigs, childhood tales have shaped the way generations perceive wolves — often as villains, rarely as the vital, family-oriented creatures they truly are.

After volunteering at the Wolf Conservation Center in New York, Leokadia fell in love with one extraordinary Mexican Gray Wolf — Trumpet (F1505) — whose story inspired her Trumpet the Miracle Wolf Pup children’s book series. Through her work, she’s on a mission to rewrite the “big bad wolf” narrative and rekindle respect for one of nature’s most misunderstood species. Together, Jackson and Leokadia dive into: 🧠 How psychology and storytelling shape children’s views of nature🐺 The inspiring rewilding story of the Mexican Gray Wolf📚 The art of introducing complex topics to children through picture books🌎 The power of empathy, coexistence, and ecological balance💫 What it means to “live thrivingly” by stepping beyond comfort and into purpose Leokadia donates 50% of her book profits toward wolf conservation — a true embodiment of living in alignment with one’s values and the wild world we belong to.
