Embarrassment & Pride (Part 1) 😳🏆 Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we’re hiding behind the sofa, and then jumping in front of the camera! Embarrassment and pride might seem like opposites, but they’re really two sides of the same coin. Both are “self-conscious” emotions that help us reflect on how we show up in the world. In this episode, we explore the squirmy moments that make our cheeks burn and the warm glows that make our hearts swell - and how both feelings can teach us about ourselves, our values, and the people we care about.

Belonging & Independence (Part 2) 🫂🚀 Welcome back to Big Emotions! As we explored in Part 1, Belonging means finding friends and places that celebrate you for who you are. Independence is about trusting yourself, making your own choices, and embracing your unique path. In Part 2, we focus even more on independence - with inspiring stories of kids (and a few magical creatures!) who step out on their own, try new things, and discover just how strong they can be.

Belonging & Independence (Part 1) 🫂🚀 Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we’re thinking about ourselves in a group, or what it feels like when we strike out on our own.

In this episode, we explore how these two feelings, while different, are deeply connected - and how you can both fit in and stand out. From family to friends to magical creatures, our stories will show you how you can find your place while staying true to yourself!
