Hi, I’m Izby—your brain bud!
I’m here to help kids ages 4-8 think, feel, and play their way through big ideas and even bigger feelings.
Each episode invites co-listening between kids and grown-ups, offering a flexible, screen-free tool to connect, reflect, and recharge—together.
While it’s not one-size-fits-all, its thoughtful design lets grown-ups adapt the experience in real time to meet their child’s unique needs.
It’s fun. It’s grounding. And it turns everyday listening into something truly meaningful.
