The power of human connection
The latest KindnessCan episode is all about the simple stuff—why laughter matters, the beauty of slowing down, and the magic in connecting with each other in our crazy-fast world. Join Jane Linley-Thomas and psychologist Paul Bushell for the conversation.
We've got to remind ourselves that just because the world is moving fast doesn't mean we have to, too!
Paul emphasises the importance of giving ourselves permission to laugh and play, underlining the underestimated value of these moments.
This episode isn't about grand gestures; it's the small, everyday kindness that can change the game. Jane reminds us that changing the world doesn't need a superhero cape—it can start with your next-door neighbour.
People always think that the change in the world needs to be big, but I went back to, 'what do I have right here, right now?'
Jane and Paul talk about their recent trip to Pietermaritzburg for World Homeless Day. Forget serious stuff; they found out how play and connection can be superheroes, too. No capes required.
Listen in for a chat that's as real as it gets – with some heartwarming stories that might just change the way you see kindness. Listen at the top of this page.
Meanwhile, in a previous episode of the KindnessCan podcast, Jane Linley-Thomas and psychologist Paul Bushell shared some of the new and old wisdom that they've been collecting over the last two years in a post-pandemic world.
Through many eye-to-eye and heart-to-heart conversations with schools, corporates, and all of you, Jane and Paul keep hearing how important taking care of the relationship you are having with YOU is to being a kinder version of you.
Your cup can't just be filled to help others and be the best version of you, it needs to be overflowing.
But... are the things that you are doing to fill your cup really filling your cup? Or, are they adding to the drain?
