"Biddy Bedtime Stories" is the internet's only sitcom style podcast for kids, pure and simple. There's nothing else like it. The humor is tailored for both the kids and the grownups. Think of it as a joint spinoff of "Mr. Rogers" and "The Office" with a hint of Bugs Bunny thrown in for good measure. David is a 10 year veteran podcaster with his family focused "Biddy Stories" podcast. He hails from Minnesota and is an elementary school music teacher, a choir director, a husband and a father to 3 outstanding children. His podcast mission is to help families understand that “If you go to sleep laughing, you’ll wake up smiling.”

  • His personal story
  • Why he created Biddy Bedtime Stories
  • How teaching has influenced his work
  • Changes he has seen in children over the last 25 years
  • Why humor is so important for children
  • Why Biddy stories are great for bedtime
  • How Biddy Stories is different from other kid focused podcasts
  • How kids and their parents respond to Biddy Stories
  • and much more!

This is part 2 of a 2 part series on the teenagers perspective in the blended family. 

 

Brad Jaffe is a licensed therapist in south Florida who works with young adults struggling with mood, anxiety and personality disorders, as well as dysfunctional families. Brad believes that treatment involves not just the "identified patient," but the entire family.

He holds degrees from the University of Florida and Columbia University and studied at the American Institute for Psychoanalysis. If he has free time, he enjoys cycling, traveling and trying to train his Wheaten Terrier puppy, Gracie. In this episode, Brad and I will speak directly to your teenager in order to help them with the unique challenges they face in the blended family. 



  • My introduction and message to your teen
  • Brad’s introduction and message to your teen
  • How to be ok with a family you don’t choose
