I am a mother, military spouse and education policy nut. I’m a typical Mountain West woman, firmly rooted in family, faith and getting outside. However, I’ve spent most of my adult life in big coastal cities and have raised my kids on three separate continents. Becoming intimately connected with people and places all around the globe has taught me to care more about what ties us together than what separates us – with the most important common ground being the deep desire to make the world a better place for our children and to raise good humans.

 

Knowing my family and I have led a unique, privileged life so far, and witnessing first-hand the inequities of this world, I am deeply motivated to do everything I can to give all kids the same opportunities that my children have had. When I got the idea for KidsPod, I realized that something as small as having access to educational and entertaining podcasts could benefit millions of children all over the world. Sometimes the biggest problems can be solved by lots of small and simple solutions.

 

Will listening to silly kids podcasts solve the climate crisis, end world hunger and heal war-torn nations? No, but they might just empower the next generation that will. And again, they really are a parenting life-saver!
