Dale M. Kushner Interview | Wild Freedom | Fairy Tales, Carl Jung, Creativity & Transformation

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with acclaimed novelist, poet, essayist, and Jungian thinker Dale M. Kushner.

During a personal crisis years ago, Dale wrote a fairy tale as a way to survive. Decades later, she returned to that story to explore a deeper question: What do fairy tales teach us about creativity, trauma, healing, and transformation.

The result is her powerful new work, Wild Freedom: The Princess Who Found Her Name – On Fairy Tales, Imagination, and the Creative Mind, a unique blend of fairy tale, memoir, psychology, and personal reflection. Through this deeply insightful book, Dale examines imagination not as an escape from reality, but as a vital psychological, emotional, and spiritual practice.

A longtime student of legendary psychiatrist Carl Jung, Dale draws from Jungian psychology, mythology, dreams, storytelling, and personal experience to illuminate the creative process and the search for an authentic self. She explores how creativity intersects with family, identity, motherhood, desire, and personal transformation.

In this fascinating conversation, we discuss fairy tales, Jungian psychology, imagination, trauma recovery, creativity, mythology, dreams, storytelling, personal growth, spiritual development, and the lifelong journey toward self-discovery. 

If you are interested in psychology, mythology, creativity, Carl Jung, writing, personal transformation, or the deeper meanings behind stories and symbols, this interview is for you.
