Hello and welcome back to little decisions, the podcast about kindness, connection and community in the Athens area! Today’s episode is the start of a new interview series called: Kindness in Our World. For the Kindness in Our World (KIOW) series, I go beyond the boarders of Athens, Ga to talk about kindness. The series will explore how kindness helps us build bigger communities through shared connections. I want to show how, at any given moment, you can find kindness just about anywhere.  For today’s interview, I want to introduce you to kid kindness expert: Nicole Black. Nicole is the author of Coffee and Carpools which is where she shares her best parenting tips and tricks for raising intentionally kind kids, creating a stronger family connection and bullying prevention! I came across Nicole several different ways, which is how I knew she had to be the first interview for this Kindness in  Our World series.
