In this episode, we revisit our I WAS NICE ONCE episode with 'niceness' data. Mar and Jenn also share their Easter epiphany, and how a holiday or special event can inspire a mindset-reset. When the stone is moved, you have a chance at a new life. But don't worry: we aren't making plans to be so nice that we get run over, because you gotta be cruel to be kind (sometimes).
