					<h3>Meet your storyteller</h3>
<p>Suzanne Whitby is many things, including an oral storyteller and a woman on a quest to add more Zen and mindfulness to her life. On a whim, she decided to bring together her love of storytelling and her interest in Zen koans and other short wisdom tales that have been told through the ages to create a tiny mindful, a podcast filled with short wisdom tales that provoke tiny mindful moments.

tiny mindful: The Lion Makers

Life is busy. These tiny mindful tales are all 2-5 minutes in length and drawn on the wisdom of age-old traditional tales from across the globe. They don’t always have happy endings, but hopefully they will make you think and make space for a tiny mindful moment in your day. Sourced and told by oral storyteller and aspiring “mindful person”, Suzanne Whitby. Enjoy!
