Little Minds, Big Talks Podcast
– a Mama Peace Chat about Gratitude
During November, fourth graders in Mrs. Ryan Brazil’s class (in the state of Washington) interviewed Mama Peace about “gratitude” – for their “Little Minds, Big Talks” podcast.
Their November theme was “happiness” and their questions explored how gratitude is experienced and practiced, how it connects with purpose and positivity, and how it amplifies happiness within and with others.
Mrs. Brazil was one of two dozen educators and community leaders who participated in a recent “Train-the-Trainer Pathways2Peace Workshop” offered by Mattie’s Peace Foundation. Early in 2026, she and her class and the podcast series will begin their Peace Certification journey.
