“I know a strong and good person when I see one. You were given this life, not by accident, but because you are strong enough to live it. You were given those babies because they need you to be their mom. You can let your struggles destroy you or you can let them motivate you. It's not the struggle that defines us, but what we do after that matters.”

Rock Your Kindness highlights extraordinary stories of everyday people experiencing life-changing kindness. Whether it's a random act, saves a life, or helps you be kinder to yourself, these stories will increase empathy, compassion, and hope. You never know how your kindness can change the trajectory of your life or the life of another.

Rock Your Kindness is hosted by Tracey Ferrin. Tracey is a mother, wife, best-selling author, and TikTok superstar. She is often called a "breath of fresh air" by those who know and meet her. She is a mom of 4 and has been married to the love of her life for 18 years. Together, they call Texas home.
