Love and Sadness - Part 1 - Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings

2025-10-2121:51

Love & Sadness (Part 1) ❤️😢 Welcome back to Big Emotions! We're feeling all squishy this week, as we dive into two of the strongest emotions of all. Love is powerful, joyful, and comforting - and when it changes or we feel its absence, sadness often follows. Sadness can feel heavy, but it helps us slow down, notice what matters, and deepen our connections. In this episode, we explore the softer, quieter corners of the heart where love and sadness meet. You'll hear stories of friendship, loss and connection, showing how these big emotions help us grow and understand ourselves in new ways.

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.
