    * The consequences of opening “Pandora’s Box” and why it is so controversial in stories of Greek mythology

    * Her impact on women and men

    Pandora is a goddess we can all learn from as her box and her heart hold many gifts, secrets, and answers. This episode takes you on a journey from the mighty Heavens to the Earth and teaches you that invoking the power of hope can help us overcome the impossible!
