Episode Title: The Power of Kindness – For Ourselves, Our Kids, and Our Brains

In this episode of The Parent Pod, we dive into the science and significance of kindness—not just as an act, but as a powerful force that shapes our brains, relationships, and parenting.

We explore:
🧠 Kindness and the Brain – How acts of kindness trigger feel-good chemicals, reduce stress, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system for better emotional regulation.
💛 Kindness to Ourselves – What self-compassion looks like, why it matters, and how to practice it without guilt.
👩‍👧‍👦 Parenting with Kindness – Practical strategies for setting boundaries with empathy, fostering connection, and modeling kindness in everyday moments.

Tune in for science-backed insights and real-life strategies to bring more kindness into your life and parenting journey. 💕

This episode is dedicated to my dear friend, Michael. After our ‘goodbye chat’ this week, this episode was born. Micko - the most exuberant, larger than life and kindest human in the universe.
