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

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.
