Podcasts about Kindness

I am thrilled to announce that our new book, the Kindness Daily Reader: Season One, is now available on Amazon. (See Link Below)  Secondly, we are embarking on a new chapter with Season Three of the One Kind Moment podcast. In Season One, we primarily focused on broad topics of kindness and compassion, while in Season Two, we explored areas such as self-compassion, self-help, and self-care. Now, in Season Three, we're shifting our focus to a specific area of self-care that we call Practical Spirituality for Everyone. We'll be delving into topics like spirituality in nature, spiritual intelligence, everyday mindfulness, the science of consciousness, the mystery of life, the science of awe, and managing uncertainty. We're excited to take this new direction and are grateful for your continued support and interest in the One Kind Moment podcast. EXPLORE OUR NEW BOOK!

Valentine's Day is often wrapped in commercialized romance, but what if love is more than sentimentality? In this episode, Dr. Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen explore an aspect of love that we all need—kindness. But not the shallow, conflict-avoidant “niceness” we often mistake for kindness. Instead, they dive into the disruptive, provocative nature of true kindness—kindness that challenges, disrupts old patterns, and calls us into deeper growth. Kindness asks us to receive care and, sometimes, even risk disconnection for the sake of deeper intimacy. Together, Dan and Rachael unpack how true kindness is an act of restoration. They discuss the surprising, ennobling nature of kindness and how it reflects the heart of God—a love that offers goodness even when we least deserve it. So, as we navigate a day often filled with roses and greeting cards, let's consider the kind of love that truly transforms—the kind that sees, knows, and calls us toward who we long to become.

If you have a company that strives to be, in their own words, “Kind to one's tastebuds, body, and the world” -- can you tease out when it pays to be kind, and what you do when you have to assess that mission pragmatically? What about when you bring that novel supply chain to market. What works in the market, and how does it shape your path to getting there? In today's episode, we look at the balancing act between Business and Social Good with Kind Snacks Founder Daniel Lubetzky. Special Guest: Daniel Lubetzky.

Send us a textModern Stoicism often focuses on self-control and resilience, but what if we've overlooked its most important lesson? True Stoicism is about strength through compassion. Marcus Aurelius believed that anger is weakness and that true power comes from brotherly love and justice. Yet today, Stoicism is often misrepresented as cold, emotionless, and distant.

Kindness seems to be a lost art in our self-centered world but tthe Bible has a lot to say about kindness. In this podcast, the listener will discover what kindness is, why we should practice it, the benefits of kindness and who we should be kind to. 

In this episode, I open up about how, in January, I found myself being quite unkind to myself, often in ways I didn't even notice at first. This realisation sparked an idea for this episode. Hehe, something good did come out of it! We all know that when we're in a negative rut, we can self-sabotage in obvious ways. But what about the subtle, everyday ways we're unkind to ourselves...the thoughts, habits, and small self-criticisms that feel so natural, we don't even question them? Because they're hard to identify, we rarely make an effort to change them. They almost feel like a part of us.I hope this episode helps you cultivate more kindness and compassion for yourself. We often fail to give ourselves patience and grace...whether we're struggling with something personal, feeling unmotivated at work, or dealing with hormones. Some of what I share comes from my own experience, and some from research, but what I've learned is that we all do this in one way or another.These “small” moments of self-neglect aren't so small after all. They build up over time, affecting our self-esteem, happiness, and even our physical well-being leading to stress headaches, anxiety in the chest, or that uncomfortable feeling in the tummy Yet, we rarely pause to work on these things because we assume they're just a normal part of life. The good news is, they don't have to be. I hope that thought is refreshing to hear for you!Below are 10 ways we can be unkind to ourselves and this is what I unpack in this episode.1. Overcommitting & People-Pleasing –2. Ignoring Our Intuition3. Forcing Productivity4. Minimising Our Feelings5. Delaying Joy6. Not Allowing Ourselves to Receive7. Comparing Ourselves8. Carrying Old Guilt9. Dismissing Our Wins10. Living in ‘Should' EnergyView my website here!

Marcy Thrash brings the good of Project AnimalAid, the Boulder, Colorado based 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the health and welfare of animals in the U.S. and around the world. PAA achieves this goal by collecting veterinary equipment, technology and supplies from veterinary hospitals, human hospitals, medical equipment and supply manufacturers and distributors, zoos, other non-profit organizations and individuals. These donated items are then distributed worldwide to veterinarians working in non-profit or non-governmental organizations devoted to animal health. This amazing organization is not only helping the animals of the planet, but also conserving valuable resources that will likely otherwise end up in a landfill. We are talking animals, conserving, recycling, reusing, and how bad ass it is to have Thrash as a last name. Special note from Steve: This episode is dedicated in loving memory of Mason and Haylee, our beyond good dogs, who left us too soon and too close together but we know in our hearts you two crazies are racing around somewhere, causing chaos among the stars. ____________________________ Start the new year with a new mystery: MURDER UNMASKED, Steve's second book in his series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES, is finally here!

In this episode of The Intentional Dad, hosts Jason Hynson and J. Fotsch welcome guest David Anderson, a school counselor, father of three and 2024 Dad of the Year honoree. Together they dive into what it means to instill kindness, responsibility and teamwork in children both at home and in the community. David shares how his experience in the Peace Corps shaped his family's commitment to service, including taking each of his children on a mission trip before they graduate. The conversation highlights how leading by example, fostering gratitude and encouraging responsibility through everyday actions help shape the next generation. Join us for an insightful discussion on how small intentional steps can create a lasting impact on children, families and communities. Episode Highlights [01:50] "My wife is pretty special. She submitted an essay for me, and somehow I got selected as a 2024 Dad of the Year. She probably made me look way better than I really am." [03:41] "When you live in a third-world country for a while, you realize just how blessed you are. It gives you a sense of wanting to spread that and give back." [11:56] "I tell kids if you're only filling buckets when you're doing big grandiose things you're never going to be good at this. It's about the day-to-day small things that make an impact." [13:02] "I think one of the best ways to teach responsibility is to put your kids in sports or activities outside the home. They learn firsthand that hard work and commitment lead to results.” [14:19] "I thought I was helping my sons by making everything a competition, but looking back, I probably created more sibling rivalry than teamwork."

Welcome to the Australian Open 2025 recap you didn't know you needed. Resh and Stef are back, and this time, they're breaking down Madison Keys' glorious Australian Open win. This woman didn't just win—she leveled up, bossed up, and made the tennis world her kingdom. Someone get this legend a crown.But hold on—this isn't just about tennis. Oh no. We're talking mental health, therapy, and why even superheroes (aka athletes) need a timeout before they explode into a stress fireball. Because winning is great, but not losing your mind? Even better.Then, things get musical. Mariah in Vegas was EVERYTHING. Kendrick Lamar at the Grammys. And somewhere in the chaos, we realized that pop culture and sports are basically long-lost twins.Meanwhile, Coco Gauff is out here making moves and probably saving puppies in her free time. Absolute icon. But on a serious note—safety for female athletes is still a huge issue. Because, shocker, stalkers are still out there being creepy, and it's not okay.Also, let's talk money. Sponsors aren't just nice—they're the reason athletes can actually afford to exist. No sponsors? No paycheck. No paycheck? No sports. Simple math.The Hard-Hitting, Zero-Chill Takeaways:

Join thousands of other listeners on our Substack, The Foodletter!   In this episode, Brooke Eliason sits down with Tami Steggell, the founder of RubySnap Bakery in Salt Lake City, to discuss her journey from architectural design to becoming one of the most respected names in the world of cookies. Tami shares the inspiration behind her creative and high-quality cookies, her dedication to sourcing the best ingredients, and how her love for flavor exploration has shaped RubySnap's success. She also reveals insights into entrepreneurship, the importance of customer service, and her future vision for her content platform, Bite Me Industries.   Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a home baker looking to perfect your cookies, or simply a foodie who loves a good story, this episode is packed with inspiration, wisdom, and deliciousness!   Key Takeaways [11:56] From Architecture to Baking: Tami transitioned from a successful career in architecture to launching RubySnap in 2008 after becoming frustrated with the lack of flavorful sweet treats. [18:35] Branding with a Story: The bakery's name and cookie branding are inspired by World War II, honoring the creativity and resourcefulness of that era. Each cookie is named after a real person who has inspired Tami. [23:45] The Art of Flavor Development: Every RubySnap cookie is uniquely crafted with its own dough, rather than using a standard base. This dedication to quality ensures an exceptional flavor experience.  [24:29] The Importance of High-Quality Ingredients: Tami is deeply committed to sourcing premium ingredients, from vanilla beans in Bali to local dairy, eggs, and flour in Utah. [28:08] Keys to Perfect Homemade Cookies: Weighing ingredients, using room-temperature butter, chilling dough, and baking on high-quality parchment paper are essential to achieving bakery-level cookies at home. [32:16] Customer Service as a Mission: Tami's philosophy centers around spreading joy, ensuring every customer leaves happier than when they arrived. The bakery's generous sample policy and personalized service reflect this ethos.

She hopes to expand into cookbook writing and a podcast focusing on farmers, millers, and ranchers.   Notable Quotes (12:18) “I wanted to create cookies that had the wow factor, where every bite was an experience.” (34:13) “I call it ‘Kill Them with Kindness'—you never know what someone is going through, and a small act of kindness can change their day.” (20:07) “Every cookie is named after someone meaningful in my life—it's a way of honoring the people who have influenced me.” (47:28) “Food encapsulates everything—love, connection, culture, and community.”   Resources Roasted Red Pepper Dressing Recipe Visit the official RubySnap website Visit the official Bite Me Industries website for recipes Follow RubySnap on Instagram Follow Female Foodie on Instagram

Are your daily actions motivated by love for God and love for your neighbor? Loving our neighbor fulfills God's law because it mirrors His character in us. This love is not based on fleeting emotions but on a commitment to put others above ourselves. Are you allowing God's love to flow through you? How is God calling you to deepen your love for Him and those around you today? Loving God and loving our neighbor are the foundation of the Christian life, inseparable commands that fulfill all of God's law. This love is not passive but active, requiring us to serve selflessly, forgive freely, and reflect Christ's sacrificial love to everyone—family, neighbors, strangers, and even enemies. We cannot love in our own strength; only by abiding in Christ and receiving His love can we truly love others.

"Love and Kindness are never wasted, they will make a change and make difference in this world." Listen and be motivated this Monday and learn 5 practices to love first and always be kind. When you live in love and kindness you are being your best self! "Because Monday is Motivating."

When we arrived at Children's Hospital sixteen years ago today, the waiting room was packed and every bed in the infusion room was full. It was obvious we had a long wait in front of us. Hannah was completely exhausted just from the ride to Little Rock that morning, and could literally barely sit up in her wheelchair.  The brightness of the waiting room assaulting her dilated pupils made things even more uncomfortable for her.  I didn't know how we were possibly going to make it through the morning.One of the nurses noticed Hannah's struggle, and called us back before it was our turn.  She led us to a conference room which contained one of those pull-out sleep chairs that you find in hospital rooms, and fixed it so Hannah could lay on it while we were waiting for an available bed so she could get her platelets.  She turned on a lamp and then flipped off the light switch as she closed the door behind her, giving Hannah the gift of sweet rest in privacy.Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family's experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009.  My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.
