Your lips matter. Kindness, chapstick, and giving back.

In this episode of The Kindness Habit, Benjamin Wagner talks about how his life transformed when he meets the recently retired host of 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,' Fred Rogers, the king of kindness.

In this episode, we talk about:

-How Benjamin met Mister Rogers and how that influenced his relationship with kindness.

-The importance of making time to do activities that fuel you.

-The ways we can be more present with ourselves and others around us.

-Understanding what Mister Rogers meant by going deep and simple in life.

-How we can show up for each other as human beings with kindness.
