KARD Reading

Hi! My name is Khirsty, and thank you for tuning into my podcast! In the first episode of Season 2, I chat about the various segments that this podcast will host (see details below). I also acknowledge the transition from the previous name (@FoodForTaught Podcast). In addition, you get to know me, your reader! I talk a bit about my journey as a podcaster, wife, mother, creative + more.

✨ Who said audiobooks were for adults? No one, that’s who. Tune into my (CHILD) segment for your little one(s) enjoy listening to their favorite stories. If you have the book, feel welcomed to follow along. Or, play it as calming background noise and let your imagination paint the images for you. 📚 👧 📖 👦 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Thank you for welcoming me back with open arms! It has been a long hiatus considering the pandemic, motherhood, moving into a new house, getting engaged, and...starting a new career! I now work as a preschool teacher for one of the largest public school districts in the nation. PHEW! Again, thank you for welcoming me back.

Let's chat about how we can best support our students/the children.
