Ever get that little nudge to help someone out? Sometimes we listen and sometimes we talk ourselves out of making a move. This week on These Are Good Days, we're digging into why those nudges are so important. Kindness isn't just about helping others; it actually wires us together, creating a sense of community and shared experience. And get this: being kind isn't just for them – it's a surprising superpower for your self-esteem too. Join us as we uncover the unexpected power of generosity and why it's so vital.

In this episode, we explore the shift from "what if" to "what is" and how it empowers us to take control of our lives. By focusing on the present, we move away from anxiety-driven catastrophizing to embrace reality. Our minds often trick us into worrying about things that never happen, leaving us stuck in fear. Join us in the powerful conversation all about shifting our mindset.

Stopping and noticing sounds like a simple practice, but do we take the time to do it? What would happen if we lived with a sense of awe and wonder? How would noticing the word around us change us? Join us in this conversation all about slowing down and paying attention to the people and world around us.

Whether we like it or not, our kids pick up what we’re laying down, and we are their primary role models. The phrase "more is caught than taught" holds so much truth. There are many qualities we hope our kids carry into adulthood, but the reality is, they’ll carry much of what we model for them. From the way we handle our emotions, manage relationships, to how we show gratitude—these lessons are often absorbed through the time and example we set. Join us in this conversation about being intentional role models as parents.
