Are you harder on yourself than you are on anyone else?In this episode of The Kindness Advantage, Cindy Rowe explores why self-kindness is one of the most powerful and most overlooked forms of self-care.

What if one simple act of kindness could physically heal your body, lower stress, and change someone else’s life at the same time?In this powerful episode of The Kindness Advantage, Cindy sits down with Anna Draveland, founder of Spread Goodness Day, a global movement celebrated annually on the second Friday of March. What began as a joyful initiative to encourage volunteering became something much deeper after Anna survived a traumatic carotid artery tear and double stroke that affected three lobes of her brain.Through her recovery, Anna discovered what science confirms: kindness doesn’t just feel good. It releases serotonin, lowers inflammation, reduces stress hormones, activates mirror neurons, and promotes physical and emotional healing for the giver, receiver, and even the witness.Together, Cindy and Anna explore:The science behind kindness and brain chemistryNegativity bias and how media consumption affects mental healthWhy you must “create your own clickbait”The ripple effect of everyday acts like opening a door or smilingThe powerful secondary impact of kindness (including the story of “Every Kid Deserves a Birthday Bash”)How Spread Goodness Day empowers schools, organizations, and communities worldwideThis episode is both inspirational and practical, offering tools to help you feel empowered in a heavy world.

What happens when your body forces you to slow down?In this deeply personal episode of The Kindness Advantage, Cindy Rowe shares her experience of being sick, pushing through exhaustion, and ultimately learning the hard way that rest is not weakness, it’s wisdom.In a culture that glorifies productivity and constant motion, choosing self-kindness can feel uncomfortable. But research shows that chronic stress weakens the immune system, increases anxiety, and delays recovery. Self-compassion, on the other hand, has been linked to lower burnout, greater emotional resilience, and improved overall well-being.This episode explores the science behind kindness and healing, and why learning to pause may be one of the most powerful things you can do for your mental health and physical recovery.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why stress suppresses immune function and delays healingThe connection between self-compassion and reduced burnoutHow rest supports emotional regulation and nervous system recoveryWhy pushing through illness often makes things worsePractical ways to prioritize self-kindness without guiltIf you’ve ever struggled to slow down, felt guilty for resting, or believed that productivity equals worth, this episode is your permission slip to rethink that narrative.Rest is not quitting.
