The Kindness Revolution – Reclaiming Joy Beyond Burnout
Grab your complementary companion guideAre you tired of "chasing" a version of happiness that feels out of reach? Join host Rita Ernst on The Story I’m Telling Myself for a transformative conversation with leadership and storytelling coach Monica Kleijn Evason.
In this episode, they dive deep into the "inner stories" that keep us stuck in burnout, the epidemic of modern loneliness, and why it is time for a "Kindness Revolution".
What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
- Burnout vs. Stress: Monica explains the critical difference between the two and how burnout often breeds a layer of cynicism that makes the very idea of "happiness" feel like an "ick".
- The "Marmite" Identity: Learn why being told you are "polarizing" is actually a gift. Monica shares her journey from being a "love junkie" seeking universal approval to embracing her "Marmite" self—realizing she was never meant to be "vanilla".
- The Science of Loneliness: Explore the "loneliness pandemic" and how social anxiety can affect even the most extroverted leaders. Monica discusses building "warm hubs" to foster community connection.
- Kindness as a Reciprocal Soul: Discover why true kindness isn't just about the Giver—it’s about the "reciprocal soul" that feeds the person receiving it and the person doing it.
- The "Five Frogs" Rule for Action: If five frogs are on a log and one decides to jump, how many are left? (Hint: The answer is five). Monica breaks down the difference between deciding to act and actually jumping off the log.
Why You Should Listen:
If you have ever told yourself the "cruel story" that you don't deserve to be happy, or if you feel the pressure to "dial down" your energy to fit in, this episode is your permission slip to shine. From DJing at the World Happiness Summit to taking a group of 75-year-olds to a Rock Choir, Monica’s story is a masterclass in finding courage through playfulness.
Stop surviving and start thriving. Learn how to raise your vibration through "strong kindness" and rewrite the inner narrative that is standing in your way.
