Hi!
We're really glad you´re here, this is our first episode!
Once Upon a Feeling is a podcast where stories help families listen more closely to what’s happening inside.
Each story episode features a real child reading—unpolished, honest, and fully themselves—followed by a conversation about what stood out and what they wish adults understood.
There are no right or wrong answers, just curiosity and space to be honest.
In companion episodes called Beyond the Stories, Rita talks with experts like child life specialists, therapists, or doctors to explore the feelings behind the story.
The show focuses on understanding emotions and helping grownups listen and respond with care, without rushing kids through feelings.
