The Kindness Chronicles

We visit with author, Denise Cesare. After losing her voice in a serious car accident, this professional speech and language pathologist from Brooklyn shares the origin and motivation for her book, Moments in Motion with Love. 

Let’s celebrate the woman behind the man…Patti Brooks. We review the 2026 Winter Olympics with KG, and visit with Kelly Paradise (daughter of 1980 Gold Medal US Olympic Hockey Team Coach, Herb Brooks’s). Joining us in studio is Kelly’s friend (and Kindess Chronicles listener) since kindergarten, Andrea Kangas. So may fun stories. 

The KC Crew visit with an extraordinary group of people who have taken their kindness to the Malawi, Africa. Our guests started their incredible journey into philanthropy as young Girl Scouts and created an organization, GRO (Girls Reaching Out), that provides fresh water wells for villages throughout Malawi. The program has evolved into a powerhouse organization, engaging volunteers from companies like Salesforce. Their 501c3 organization is called “WASH for Life.” Check it out.

Happy Valentine’s Day from the Kindness Chronicles crew. We visit with a lovely group of College friends that have managed to spend an unusual amount of time with each other with very little drama. Maybe a little drama. 🤣

Clown Car alert: the entire KC Crew gather, discuss the joy of a successful Minnesota Wild Team and we visit with Shawn Kor from Eagle’s Healing Nest. 

FINALLY, KG has a night off to join the KC Crew for a little conversation 

This week the KCP Crew visit with KARE11 alum and extraordinary storyteller, Mark Daly. 

The KCP Crew welcomes Timothy Mathews. Timothy a writer, Care Minister, and kindness advocate whose work centers on empathy, connection, and the quiet power of everyday compassion. Through storytelling, community leadership, and practical action, Timothy helps individuals and organizations experience kindness as a lived practice rather than an abstract ideal.He is the author of The Night Before PAWmas, a children’s book that explores kindness and empathy through gentle storytelling.

Heather Boschke is a marketer, professor and bird lover. Her mission is to spread joy one bird at a time and unlock the wonder of birds in kids of all ages! Her bird love began at age seven, when she had a pet cockatiel named Birdie. She enjoys birding in her backyard and at parks and nature centers around Minnesota to get inspiration for her drawings (which she does with pen and marker). You can contact Heather and see more of her bird drawings at buddhabirdie.com. 

We attempt a point/counterpoint on the topic of whether Kindness Takes Effort? Newsflash, Mrs. Schwietz wins the debate.
