Have you ever experienced a small act of kindness that completely turned your day around? Maybe someone covered your coffee in the drive-thru, offered a word of encouragement at just the right moment, or simply made you feel seen. These seemingly small moments create a powerful ripple effect—one that extends far beyond what we can see.

In this episode, we dive into how kindness not only transforms the people around us but also recharges our own energy. I share a personal story from my teenage years about an unexpected moment of kindness that left a lasting impact on my life. Then, I sit down with Danna, a Wesley Nurse, who shares her incredible perspective on how kindness plays a critical role in healing, not just emotionally, but physically as well.

We also discuss:
✔️ Why kindness takes real strength
✔️ The surprising connection between stress, anxiety, and physical health
✔️ How setting boundaries is an act of kindness (to yourself and others)
✔️ Three simple ways you can test the ripple effect of kindness in your own life

If you’re feeling drained, discouraged, or disconnected, this episode will remind you that even the smallest intentional action can create waves of change. Because kindness isn’t just something we give, it’s something that transforms us too.
