Mini Ep. 3 – Kindness to Family + Friends

Midlife is not too late to start a practice of radical kindness. Our personalities and ability for empathy are not hardwired.

It’s been great to see so many of you following along with the #onekindsummer campaign on the pod. Last week we started the campaign with self-compassion. Let me know how you did with that. Today we are focusing on kindness toward those around you, which you may find easier, or even harder. A lot of what I’m referencing today is from Angela Santomero’s book called, “Radical Kindness: The Life-Changing Power of Giving and Receiving.” Deepak Chopra says in his foreword that the book “offers the practical means for experiencing what can be called kindness consciousness.” I love that!

I’m on a 4-week break from posting interviews, but in the meantime I want to take a few minutes each week to think about how we can spread kindness this summer and beyond. I think we can all do with a bit more kindness in the world. This isn’t something more for your to-do list, and this isn’t something you need to do it perfectly. It’s just about showing up and being open if we choose to.

So stay tuned if you’re interested. Interviews will resume on Tuesday, July 9th. See the full transcript HERE. This show is a labor of love for me, so I’d be grateful if you would rate or review it. Thank you!
