Simple & Deep® Podcast
Seeing children through their stories — and ours.
The Simple & Deep® Podcast helps adults understand the real stories beneath children’s big feelings, tender moments, and challenging behaviors and how their own stories influence their parenting. Hosted by educator and author Wysteria Edwards, BA, Ed.M (Waiting for Mister Rogers), this show blends story, attachment, and emotional truth to reveal what’s really happening inside a child’s world—and how our own stories shape the way we respond.
If you want depth, honesty, and a story-centered way of understanding children and yourself, you’re in the right place.
