Today I have an update and a guest mashup episode about Big Emotions!
First the update: I am launching the Like You Children's Film Festival, which will take place November 22-23, 2025 in my hometown of Memphis! More info below, but if you can make it to Memphis for this, it will be an unforgettable weekend of family fun.
After updating you about the film festival, you'll hear a guest mashup episode featuring yours truly, along with The Good Words Podcast and The Story Seeds Podcast. This episode isa part of a podcast series called Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings. You can check out the rest of the series by visiting their podcast feed. This episode explores the BIG EMOTIONS of embarrassment and Pride.
Now a little more about my update. You haven't heard new episodes from me recently because I've been hard at work launching Like You Film Club, a non-profit that supports the emotional growth and mental wellness of kids through the power of film. This project combines my work in this podcast, with my OTHER creative work as a filmmaker. I am very excited about what we are building, and can't wait to share more, like the new family film review podcast we are developing. Please follow us on instagram @likeyoufilmclub or sign up for our mailing list to get more news and updates about Like You Film Club.
Here are the credits for this Mashup Episode:
Embarrassment & Pride (Part 2) 😳🏆
Welcome back to Big Emotions! As we learnt in part 1, embarrassment and pride both shape how we see ourselves - and in part 2, we dive deeper into these self-conscious emotions. You’ll hear more amazing stories from Kids Listen creators about moments that made us squirm, moments that made us shine, and how each can teach us something about who we are and who we want to be.
Contributing podcasts in this episode: The Good Words Podcast • The Story Seeds Podcast • Like You: Mindfulness for Kids
