Waffle Free Storytelling

152 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago - ★★★★★ - 1 rating

Welcome to Waffle-Free Storytelling! Fireside, road trip, bedtime, anytime stories for all ages...mostly.

Why "Mostly"? Although all the stories are family-friendly, some stories explore topics like death and the darker side of being human. But kids are pretty wild!! So, I bet they can handle it. Just keep PG in mind.

The main thing is that this podcast is waffle-free. This means there's no jibber-jabber, no waffle, no rambling introduction, or debate on the impact of dinosaur pyjamas on a good night's sleep. It's the story and nothing but.

The stories are between 3 and 17 minutes long, and, like I said, except for a few with a PG rating, are for all ages.

Welcome to the place where coffee breaks become mini-adventures. For more, visit https://tinakonstant.com/ or follow me on Facebook or LinkedIn.

Enjoy the show!!

Because I Can!

March 20, 2021 06:00 - 8 minutes - 14.7 MB

Welcome To Waffle-Free Storytelling! Here's a story about knowing your "why". There are two thoughts behind this tale: first, recognising whether we are being all we can be, or just repeating what's easiest for us, and second, realising that when we ask "why" we do the things we do, we might need/want to change our actions. That's the waffle in my head around this story, but you might get something completely different from it (that's the joy of fables, stories and tales)! I'd love to h...
