Say Goodnight: Family Edition is a calming bedtime podcast for kids and families, created to help children end their day with something positive.
Each short episode uses gentle conversation, relatable stories, and quiet encouragement to explore the things that help us grow — courage, kindness, gratitude, friendship, honesty, confidence, forgiveness, and more.
No big lessons. No lectures. Just a calm voice, a meaningful thought, and a few quiet minutes together before sleep.
Because sometimes the last thing a child hears before closing their eyes can become something they carry with them tomorrow.
Get comfortable, close your eyes…
and Say Goodnight.

Say Goodnight
During the times of a global pandemic it seems racism has hit yet another peak on the forever rollercoaster that is oppression. It is no longer a time to be a bystander and claim it isn't our problem. If we are not fighting against inequality regardless of skin color then we are in fact a part of the problem itself.
In this episode my hope is to ignite a fire in you to join the fight and end racism.
Stand up for what is right.

Episode 3
In this episode I remind everyone, myself included, that we all have different brains and therefore will not always agree or believe in the same thing as each other. Instead getting mad or trying to persuade we should just understand that what's happening is TOTALLY ok. And either accept it or move on.
