Sometimes we may feel like we’re in a black hole, where light, happiness, and hope have disappeared. We talk about some ways to calm, cheer, and comfort ourselves, and also encourage anyone who experiences BIG feelings of sadness that are too heavy to carry on their own to reach out to a trust grown up

This season we’re heading out to space, and with that, we are introducing a new feature: SafeSPACE. If your child would like to share where/who/what their safe, happy, or calm space is, please send in a recording of them, picture, or message to peaceout@bedtime.fm or on our Facebook page @bedtimefm or Twitter @peaceoutpodcast. We’d love to hear what makes them feel this way and why and we’ll share it on a future episode or on our social media!
