Today’s message is simple but mighty: carry kindness.
With World Kindness Day just behind us, this episode asks you to take a closer look at the real, everyday mercies that hold us together — the small gestures, the fleeting exchanges, the moments of grace we give and receive without fanfare.

I share the full poem “Small Kindnesses” by Danusha Laméris, and then we dive into what kindness looks like in sobriety:
the softness with boundaries, the gentleness with backbone, the courage of choosing compassion in a world that’s lost the run of itself.

This is your reminder that kindness is not weakness — it’s power.
And it’s a practice that begins with you.

As we look skyward and say,
“Not today, lady. Not today.”
