About this episode

Duri, a ghost with allergies, needs JFKat and Fred the Dog to help her face her fear of heights. Meg Lewis from the kid’s podcast, Storypillar, helps us tell the story!

Lessons include: When our feelings are too big, it’s not a time for questions and lessons; talking out our fears with a trusted person can help them feel more manageable

Storypillar (Ages 4-7) is a podcast for kids and their grownups. Sneak (an enthusiastic caterpillar), Bean (an introverted butterfly), and Meg (a human) tackle sticky situations, explore stories from all over the world, and pick up advice from listeners. Check it out at www.storypillar.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.
