Ep 107: Nice or Kind?


Listen Later

Believe it or not, there is a significant difference between being nice and being kind. Kindness comes from a place of genuine compassion and respect, while niceness often stems from a desire to please others and avoid conflict, even at the expense of our own comfort.

When we cling to constant niceness, we risk losing our authenticity, and our voice. How would your circumstances change if you prioritized kindness and remained true to your favorite version of yourself?

In this episode, I share real examples of how being nice can lead to pitfalls in our personal and professional lives and offer you several practices that will help you choose kindness instead. It’s not easy to let go of the pressure to be nice all the time, but being kind to yourself and others is worth it.
