About Upside Down

Welcome to The Upside Down Podcast — a feel-good show about creativity, kindness, and seeing the world a little differently. Inspired by Alyssa’s debut children’s book, Ethan & the Upside Down Sandwich, each episode dives into stories that celebrate individuality, imagination, and the courage to be yourself. Join Alyssa — photographer, author, mom, and community theater heart — as she chats with artists, teachers, and everyday dreamers about how they turn their “upside-down” moments into something beautiful. Through laughter, storytelling, and heartfelt conversation, this podcast reminds us that the best ingredient in life (and sandwiches) is kindness. 💛 Whether you’re a parent, creative, educator, or just someone who believes in the power of being uniquely you — pull up a chair and stay awhile. You’re in for something special.

Why Kids Get Kindness Right (and What Adults Need to Unlearn) | Episode 05

Kids don’t naturally struggle with differences — we teach them to. In today’s episode of the Upside-Down Podcast, I share the beautiful, real-life moments I’ve witnessed as a mom, teacher, and children’s author: kids welcoming the child who sits alone, embracing friends of different abilities, building friendships across language barriers, and showing love across different faiths. This is a Christ-centered conversation on inclusion, compassion, and the kind of childlike faith Jesus calls us to. It’s a reminder that the world may divide us, but kindness can always bring us back together. Tune in for: • Why kids are naturally inclusive • How adults accidentally pass down bias • What Scripture says about loving our neighbors • Simple ways to model acceptance at home, in church, and in school • How this message inspired Ethan and the Inside-Out Sandwich 💛 Let’s raise a generation that leads with kindness, not comparison.

The Power of Books at Home: How Reading Shapes Kids’ Minds | Alyssa Burks & Alicia Rounsavall / Episode 03

In this heartwarming and practical episode of The Upside Down Podcast, Alyssa sits down with guest Alicia Rounsavall, a passionate educator and fellow book lover, to talk about the magic that happens when children grow up surrounded by stories. They dive into how simply having books in the home—on the coffee table, in baskets, or piled on the floor—can shape a child’s imagination, empathy, and confidence. From favorite picture books to creative reading routines, Alyssa and Alicia share real-life examples and teacher-mom insights about how reading together builds connection and a lifelong love of learning. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or bookworm at heart, this episode will remind you that it’s not about perfect parenting or fancy reading corners—it’s about creating a home where stories live and breathe right alongside you.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
