In this gentle and grounding short episode, Christina Cook—host of The Broke Girl Society podcast—reflects on the quote:
“Kindness begins with the understanding that we all struggle.”

Recovery has a way of revealing just how much we all carry—grief, shame, unspoken pain. Behind every smile or setback is a story we may never fully know. Christina reminds us that when we truly embrace this truth, we naturally begin to move with more grace—toward others and toward ourselves.

Kindness isn’t just a feel-good concept. It’s a practice. One that starts the moment we choose compassion over criticism and grace over guilt—even in life’s hard, messy moments.

We all struggle. But through kindness—real, intentional kindness—we begin to heal.
