There are places we want to go back to.
People we miss.
Memories we still carry.

In this episode of Sarah’s Bedtime Stories, I revisit my younger years—the Kiddo I used to be and the Kiddo I’m still becoming. I look back on childhood memories, simple moments, and the parts of me that shaped who I am today.

Sometimes, it’s the Kiddo in me that gives me the answers I’ve been looking for.

This episode is about acknowledging the Kiddo in me and celebrating how proud I am of the Kiddo she was, the Kiddo she is, and the Kiddo she can be. A soft, comforting story about nostalgia, growing up, and learning to listen to your inner child.

For anyone who misses their younger self and wants to come home to it—gently.

When I was younger, I thought reunions were only for families. But as I get older, I realized… reunions also happen with friends. And sometimes, those moments feel even more special.

In this episode, I share stories about seeing people who once felt like home — the friends who still feel the same, and the friends who don’t anymore.

There’s joy, there’s a bit of sadness, and there’s that quiet reminder that we all grow in different ways.

Which friendships in your life feel like “nothing has changed,” and which ones gently showed you that “everything has changed”?

Growing up, I always thought a “friend” simply meant someone who stayed with you in good times and bad. But as I got older, I realized there are different types of friends. Some friendships last, some don’t—and that’s something I’ve often talked about in my podcast episodes about friendship and growing up.

But in this episode, something felt different. I realized how great friendship truly is. That even in friendships, just like any relationship, you want to keep the ones that feel safe, warm, and real. You want them to last. You want them to be forever.

But how? Especially now, when it’s so easy to cut people off, walk away, or choose distance.

Here’s my story on how a friend of mine made me feel that our friendship matters—that it’s something worth choosing, nurturing, and keeping.
