Our world is in crisis again. This time, in the beautiful country and amongst the beautiful people of Ukraine. People are fearing for their lives, being separated from family and losing every earthly possession. This, all in the name of war. 

With a heavy heart, I have a hard time navigating the best way to help in these situations and I’m guessing, if you are listening to this podcast you might, too. 

My intention and commitment through this podcast and all of my work, is to illuminate the beauty and kindness of the world… even and especially in the darkest of times… times so loaded with fear and sadness, that it’s sometimes so overwhelming to figure out what to do. 

Today, my goal is to highlight the kindness that often occurs in the center of fear… and the realization that both can exist simultaneously… and that we get to chose which one to lean into. And to highlight the people making and impact one step at a time… Community coming together creating a force of love and support…

And to tell you that you get to have a part if you choose in this kindness whatever way you’d like and that it matters. Every single action, matters. 

My hope is that you leave this episode feeling empowered and very much ready to take some kind of action to spread kindness, not only to those in the heart of disaster in Ukraine, but also to all those around you, whatever they are going through. And that you know, that love is always a choice… especially in the face of fear. 

Here are the organizations and ways in which you can support the people of Ukraine. Remember, every steps helps!
