  • Heartwarmingly centers children so we can all learn from them!

    Little Kids, Big Hearts is a unique podcast that really lets kids shine for who they are. Todd is a great host and creates a safe and fun environment for them to explore all different types of topics, from siblings to feelings to empathy to race. So often, we hear adults telling us what is best for our kids and in this podcast we can revel in their own wonder and come up with solutions that are at times, even better than our own. Highly recommend!!
