A Mindfulness Podcast for Kids

View Details

Today I have an update and a guest mashup episode about Big Emotions!

First the update: I am launching the Like You Children’s Film Festival, which will take place November 22-23, 2025 in my hometown of Memphis! More info below, but if you can make it to Memphis for this, it will be an unforgettable weekend of family fun.

After updating you about the film festival, you’ll hear a guest mashup episode featuring yours truly, along with The Good Words Podcast and The Story Seeds Podcast. This episode isa part of a podcast series called Big Emotions: Kids Listen Mashups About Feelings. You can check out the rest of the series by visiting their podcast feed. This episode explores the BIG EMOTIONS of embarrassment and Pride.

Now a little more about my update. You haven’t heard new episodes from me recently because I’ve been hard at work launching Like You Film Club, a non-profit that supports the emotional growth and mental wellness of kids through the power of film. This project combines my work in this podcast, with my OTHER creative work as a filmmaker. I am very excited about what we are building, and can’t wait to share more, like the new family film review podcast we are developing. Please follow us on instagram @likeyoufilmclub or sign up for our mailing list to get more news and updates about Like You Film Club.

Here are the credits for this Mashup Episode:

Embarrassment & Pride (Part 2)

Welcome back to Big Emotions! As we learnt in part 1, embarrassment and pride both shape how we see ourselves – and in part 2, we dive deeper into these self-conscious emotions. You’ll hear more amazing stories from Kids Listen creators about moments that made us squirm, moments that made us shine, and how each can teach us something about who we are and who we want to be.

Lake: Hi Noah. My name’s Lake. I’m 5 years old and I’m from Canada and I love your mindful moonwalk podcast and also the magic one. Bye!

[intro music]

Noah: Hello! I’m Noah and this is Like You: Mindfulness for Kids. I’m very glad you’re here. Thank you to Lake for sending that message. I love hearing about people’s favorite episodes. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this one just as much as the ones you mentioned. On this episode we’ll discover a few things we can learn about mindfulness by acting like a cat. So listeners of all ages, find a place to listen where you feel comfortable and safe. As I ask questions and invite you to say affirmations, you’re welcome to speak out loud, or as always, you can just think your responses quietly in your mind.

I wanted to start by mentioning that this episode is inspired my family’s cat, Zuki, who we just adopted a few months ago. Check the episode notes if you want to see a photo of Zuki.

We’re going to begin with a breathing exercise to calm your body and focus your mind. For this breathing exercise we’ll also do some stretching and posing like a cat. Have you ever watched a cat stretch? It looks a bit like they are doing yoga. Actually, there’s even a yoga pose called “cat pose” where you get on your hands and knees, then arch your back with a big curve. I’m going to add a few photos in the show notes of cats doing different yoga poses. If you want to pause and look at those pictures, you can pick your favorite one and try doing that pose yourself during this breathing exercise. Or keep listening and I’ll tell you how to do a yoga pose called “child’s pose” which also looks a bit like something cats do.

Start on your hands and knees like a cat. Now slowly move your bottom back toward your feet while stretching your arms out forward as far as you can. Hold this pose, or any cat pose you choose while we take a few deep breaths. Breathe in slowly, 1-2-3. Then breathe out long 1-2-3. Another deep breath in 1-2-3. And out 1-2-3. Take another deep breath in 1-2-3. And a long breath out 1-2-3. Now rise back up onto all fours, like a cat. Slowly walk in a little circle, then lie down and make yourself comfy.

Now on the count of three let’s all say I like me. 1-2-3. I like me.

I like you too. I am so proud of who you are.

I wonder how many of my listeners have a cat of their own. Do you? What about any other pets? Who has a dog? A fish? A rabbit, a hamster, or a gerbil? If you have a pet, tell me what kind it is. You can even say its name if you want.

Often we can learn a lot about mindfulness from watching our pets. They are very good at being present in the moment, and at using their senses to notice the details around them. Today we’ll talking about ways a cat can be mindful, and try doing it ourselves.

First of all, cats engage all their sense to get to know their environment. They have strong sense of smell, so they will sniff new or unfamiliar items to get to know them. Why don’t you try engaging your sense of smell. Take a big breath in through your nose. Do you notice any smells around you? Now pick something near you, like a pillow, a toy, a book, or a pencil. It can be anything that happens to be nearby. Now try sniffing it like a cat. Take short little sniffs through your nose. Have you ever paid such close attention to the way something smells?

Another way cats can be mindful is by sitting quietly and watching what’s going on outside a window. Find a window near you that you can look out. Get in a comfortable position, then just look out the window and see what you can see. As you watch out your window, trying breathing slow and steady in and out.

Cats might spend hours a day just staring out a window. They see all sorts of things people may not stop to notice, like birds, squirrels, falling leaves, and people passing by. Do you see anything out your window that you’ve never noticed before?

Even when cats close their eyes, they often remain alert to everything around them by listening with their ears. You might see them relaxing with their eyes closed, but their ears are still darting forwards and backwards listening in whatever direction they hear a noise. Try closing your eyes now and pay attention to what noises you hear around you. I’ll turn down the music so you can just listen for a few seconds. Perk up your ears like a cat and see what you notice.

And the last thing we can learn about mindfulness from cats is how to be masters of relaxation. Cats can chill almost anywhere. They may climb on top of a shelf, hide under a couch, curl up in a box, perch on the arm of a chair, cozy up in a pile of laundry, or squeeze into all sorts of tiny spaces. But even in the unlikeliest places, cats can relax, find their calm, and enjoy a short nap.

So wherever you are right now, try relaxing and getting as comfy as you can while a sing a song. As I sing you can take your pick: relax and chill like a comfy cat, or sit quietly as you look at the world outside your window.

Comfy cozy

Head to toes-y

Feeling safe and warm inside

My heart feels light

My cheeks feel rosy

Breathing deep and smiling wide

When I feel I can’t control things

When my yes turns into no

When the world seems wild and noisy

And I need some place to go

I can reach inside myself

Pull a book down from the shelf

Think a thought that makes me grin

And imagine deep within I’m

Comfy cozy

Head to toes-y

Feeling safe and warm inside

My heart feels light

My cheeks feel rosy

Breathing deep and smiling wide

Now it’s time for affirmations. Affirmations are words you can say about yourself to remind yourself how wonderful you are. You can say these out loud or inside your head. I’ll say each affirmation twice. So you can listen the first time, then say it together with me the second time.

Here we go.

I’m glad that I am me.

I deserve good things.

I will speak kindly to myself.

I love me, just because I’m me.

I will allow peace to fill my soul.

I am strong and determined.

I can take it one step at a time.

I choose to enjoy this moment.

Now let’s take a few slow, deep breaths as we wind down our time together. If any of those affirmations stood out to you, feel free to write them down, or just store them safely in your mind to say when you need it. If you have an affirmation that is special to you, I would love to hear it! If you’d like to send a recording of your favorite affirmation to play on the show, have a grownup check our website or episode notes for more information.

I can’t wait to spend some time together again soon. Until next time, I like you, I’m proud of you, and I’m glad we are friends. Have a happy and peaceful day.

I hope you'll enjoy this special guest episode from our friends at Storypillar. Storypillar is a podcast for kids and their grownups that tackles the sticky situations kids face while growing up. It features a story-loving caterpillar named Sneak, Sneak’s older sister, a butterfly named Bean, and Meg, a human person who writes and produces the podcast. This guest mini-episode features Bean the butterfly doing a mindful check-in, which she calls a Bean-o-meter check. We all know that mindfulness is about slowing down and paying attention to the things that are happening inside you and around you. So I thought it would be fun for you to hear how Bean checks in with her own feelings. Bean will also say a few affirmations, which listeners of Like You are very familiar with.
