Picture
Claire and the Sagewoman is a story about mentorship, transformation and synchronicity. A 14- year old girl in Chicago and an older native American woman meet on a bus one day  and their lives are forever changed because of this relationship.
This is a long story but I believe that even if you don’t stay awake, your unconscious will receive it’s inspiration and you will be gently lulled  into a peaceful sleep.
Thanks for listening!  Quotes by Carl Jung and John Buxton.
Music by Christopher Lloyd Clarke.

Thank you, Glenda🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Talk about synchronicity...This morning, 6 am, not quite ready to wake up, I put on this story, and I finally got to hear it fully. At the end, tears were streaming down my face, it touched me deeply, so thank you for your pearls of wisdom🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🦋😇💙🌅🌟✨💫

What a beautiful story, it moved me and inspired me. Thank you so much. Love from Gouda, Holland

As a recently diagnosed HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) I can relate to Claire. This story has given me a helpful perspective on my own life. Thank You 🙏

I've listened to this story quite a few times because I always fall asleep before hearing the end. I guess that's what should happen with a bedtime story! I appreciate Glenda's soothing voice and the message about synchronicity, which reminds me that even small encounters can turn out to have great meaning. Thank you!

Beautiful❤️ sent to both my daughters. I have had a couple of Sage ladies in my life. So special. 🌹🌹


Tears of light stream down my face. What a magical story and one I won’t soon forget. Thank you. ✨🎹🏝💖💫🧚‍♂️💜🦋

Gosh what a beautiful, magical story!! I didn’t want it to end. Thank you for sharing this with us!! Namaste 🙏🏼🌺🦋💕💖🌸🐾💐🎶✨🌞


​I have found such deep meaning and the meditations of yours that I have enjoyed. Use this today as a walking meditation, bookmarking it again to return to again and again thank you for sharing your gift peace

I have listened to this at least half a dozen times while in bed but I fell asleep before I even got to the middle of the story. Each time I intended to listen the entire way through but her relaxing voice puts me into a deep sleep. I wake up the next morning feeling well rested. Tonight I decided to listen to it while practicing some yoga poses so that I would not fall asleep. The story is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for such an amazing experience. ❤️


This was such a beautiful story that awakened my inner young girl sense of wonder & possibilities. I felt like I was both the 14 year old girl & the sage woman at different intervals. I am an HSA (highly sensitive person) & that is such a beautiful label as it unfolds in this powerful story of life unfolding, memories long forgotten & two souls connecting to fill in longings. It reawakens the memories of the joy of having one special person as a mentor to life while guiding one into the future with sharing & building up another's inner strengths of discovery. That person for me was my Aunt Barbara my sage woman. I hope all of you have or find a sage woman in your life as you also become a sage woman to another woman. We women have so much to share if we open our hearts ♥️ to give & to receive. 🦋

So many memories of home and relates very much to my own life coming up in Chicago suburbs and my brushes with the local Cherokee community. Her voice and storytelling is soothing and I felt safe as I I was with family. The Native community is very small in the Midwest and I too also had them every once and awhile in my youth stop me and point out that “I know” and I hope, truly that I will eventually find my teacher and perhaps would become the Sage Woman to carry on The Universal plan. Hasn’t happened yet. 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for your beautiful story! Soon I will listen to your meditation together with our daughters, our dreamers, our storytellers, our piano players, our children of the sun. ☀️


Beautiful. I still can’t sleep, but I’ll return to this story often. It brought me to tears, for many reasons, and I hope to explore those in my dreams. Thank you for this story.
