The Kindred Podcast

After 12 years in the wedding world, and 2 seasons co-hosting the Wedding Therapy podcast, Emilee is no stranger to solutions sourcing. But what happens when the rug gets pulled out? When we're at rock bottom, what then? Well, if you're Emilee, you make a new podcast. And you rally a tribe of women to tell you how to get back in your feet, how they did it when they were on the bottom too. And then you share that wisdoms with the world. Now that's doing Good!    www.tastefultatters.com @tastefultatters #staykindandDoGood

It's no secret that things are extra hard on kids right now (globally). We talked about how we adults are coping, but we didn't want to end the conversation there! So we sat down over Zoom with the amazing Louise Harris of Suffolk Mind to talk about ways to recognize and help kids through their own mental health struggles. This episode is packed with helpful things you can do right now, and - spoiler alert - some of these techniques are perfect for parents and teachers too! Join us for a chat across the pond overflowing with kindness and Doing Good!    www.suffolkmind.org.uk #staykindandDoGood

Today we're sitting down with Shanda and Jeffrey Lee: a dynamic couple with a powerful one-two punch when it comes to stripping away who you aren't to get to the heart of who you really are. And when you authenticate, you validate and birth your true purpose. What's more Good than that?    www.theauthenticationprocess.com @yourauthenticyou @myauthenticme #staykindandDoGood

For the first time ever, we have a minisode! And it was totally planned. Completely. No question. 100%. Check in with us for a quick preview of what's in the works, some bonus good news stories and our weekly quote!   www.thekindredpodcast.com #staykindandDoGood

Let's Talk Superpowers:   We'll be real, you may find yourself squirming or a little uncomfortable (“a light pinch” as the doctor would say) when listening this week. We're diving in to the world of superpowers, the unexplainable, and the divine in each of us. And we wanna know, what is YOUR superpower? Because it just might bring about the good in the world we need.   www.thekindredpodcast.com #staykindandDoGood

So yeah, it's a weird time. But is it extra hard on those who receive a covid diagnosis? Are we culturally shaming and marginalizing those who test positive? We share our listener polls, input, and talk about why the shame game has worked before. But is it the right way to go? Is shame actually making us sicker? Don't worry, there is a lot of laughter along the way too + a DOUBLE good-news story at the end!   www.thekindredpodcast.com #staykindandDoGood

Thinking back on all that has transpired since Thanksgiving 2020 and trying not to get dizzy, we're jumping in to an imperfect conversation about saving kittens, surviving our first coup, and how we're all coping, pandemic style. Special thanks to everyone who wrote in to tell us how you're getting through!   www.thekindredpodcast.com #staykindandDoGood

What does “redemption” mean to you? Is it making amends? Paying off a debt? Or how about just that feeling you get when you redeem a gift certificate? Now imagine it's your whole life that is being redeemed. Because that is the Good Work that The Redeemed Project is all about. Pairing professional writers with those convicted of crimes, often already serving prison time, Redeemed helps provide a beautiful chance at record expungement, record sealing, and even clemency. Redeemed Project believes that the past is the past, and everyone deserves a full, redeemed life.

We all know music has power. It can change our mood, remind us of favorite memories, even take our hearts and souls to a soaring new place with its beauty. A few notes can leave us beaming with pride for the world's greatest athletes or instantly convinced terrifying sharks are nearby. Our guest, Travis Branam, decided to harness the power of music into a Vocal Coalition, empowering Colorado youth to conquer hate by leading a musical revolution for Love. Join us for a powerful conversation and don't forget to swing by www.vocalcoalition.org too. 

Can we state the obvious? Tensions are HIGH right now. The American election season ends tomorrow, the world is watching, and if you're in America like us, this time has been full of struggle. Today we're taking on a conversation about Cancel Culture: not to give a solution or a perfect answer, but just to talk and to share our perspectives. Whatever the next few days (and weeks…and months…) hold for all of us, we hope that we are all able to choose Kindness and stay focused on Doing Good.  

Hair. Fur. Fuzz. We all got it. In all kinds of places. But what we do with it - and more importantly WHY - can be a source of everything from control and comfort to immense negativity. And for many, especially girls, it's often tied to some of the earliest feelings of body shame. So let's jump in and explore what can be done when we go deeper on loving our bodies and the Good that comes from making our choices about our bodies for no one but ourselves. 

Let's get real: this week's episode was hard to record. For all of us. It's full of awkward moments, less than perfect words, and a whole lotta flaws. But that's ok. Because it's still important to step into the ring and have conversations even when it won't be perfect. We know we didn't get it all right, but we are so grateful to Natashia Deon - criminal law attorney, author, NAACP Image Award Nominee, founder of Redeemed Project and the author behind the #EndArrestExecutions proposed law - for her grace and vulnerability and especially her willingness to teach us all. There is so much Good to be done in Social Justice, and we are not helpless.  www.NatashiaDeon.com #EndArrestExecutions

Connecting to your passion, your purpose, and your DREAM LIFE is about a lot more than just a brand color scheme or creating great on-point content. It's about tapping into your fire, your power source, and That Thing that absolutely drives you. Join us for a fire-breathing and (accidentally) profound conversation with powerhouse Heather Born - creator of the Born Iconic Method - about tapping into your ambition and creative Source.    Find more on Heather at www.heatherborn.com

Around here, we believe that every BODY is beautiful. Right now. Just as you exist in this moment. But too often the conversation around loving our bodies revolves around just shape or size or maybe even age. Today we're going a different route. Join us as we chat with the incomparable Natashia Deon about the intersection of body positivity and Colorism and how much Good comes from loving ourselves and especially others just as we are.

You've heard it floating around (or on this podcast) - the Enneagram. More than just a personality quiz, this tool can be transformational and powerful for anyone looking to dive deeper into self-understanding and up their compassion capacity. Join us as we talk about all the Good the Enneagram has done in our lives! 

If you've been wondering who the heck we are, and what IS this podcast, you'll want to join us this week! We thought it was time we properly introduced ourselves, our shenanigan (and art) based friendship, why we needed medical intervention to enjoy tacos, and just what this whole Kindred thing is anyway.
