Loving Kindness Everyday

Some of the best things that have ever happened on this show started with a wrong turn. I wasn't looking for Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn. I was trying to find Jessica Marshall from Episode 3.12… when her face stopped me mid-scroll. I didn't know her personally—but I knew her. I had seen her around my neighborhood more times than I could count. Full punk makeup. Music loud. Powerchair in motion. Completely, unmistakably herself. So when her Instagram (@wheelie_an_artist) came up, I knew immediately: i know her. I reached out on July 13th. She replied the same day. We had been living four blocks from each other. That's Divine Synchronicity. Several days later we ended up back at my apartment with Christian Amaro—who just happened to already be there. No plan. Mics on. We just started talking. "I'm still here. I don't really feel like doing this." That's how this episode begins. Because that's real life. And some conversations are too important to wait until you feel ready. What followed was one of the most candid, necessary conversations we've had on this show. We talk about gender, pronouns, and how my own thinking has been shifting—especially after Episode 3.12. But the conversation doesn't stay there. It goes deeper. Into what it actually means to live in a body that the world wasn't built for. "The most disabling part about being disabled isn't my body. It's living within a system that feigns empathy but practices apathy."  Jessica Blinkhorn shares what most people don't see: That 1 in 3 disabled women are sexually assaulted every year That 90% of people with developmental disabilities experience sexual violence That invisibility doesn't protect but instead it makes disabled people targets. She shares how she escaped an assault. How she nearly died alone in her apartment—trapped under a table, unable to breathe—until she found a way to move a laptop inch by inch to send a message for help. "You find a way. You find a way to make it work." We talk about the cost of survival: A $29,000 wheelchair A $60,000 accessible van $13,000/month for treatment $8,000–$10,000/month for care And a system that caps her bank account at around $2,000— while simultaneously making independence nearly impossible. "Having anything means losing everything for us." We also talk about something most people don't know: Disabled people in the U.S. effectively do not have marriage equality. Because getting legally married can mean losing access to healthcare, caregivers, and life-sustaining support. "We are the porcelain dolls of capitalism. Beautiful to look at—then put away." This conversation will challenge you. It challenged me. If you let it, it will change you.  It changed me.  I woke up that morning thinking things were relatively fair. I went to sleep knowing I was wrong. We also reference Saprea, a resource for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. 1 in 8 children are sexually abused before the age of 18. If that's part of your story, you're not alone. Jessica's work—including her project SPANKBOX—pushes people to confront how they think about disability, sexuality, and autonomy. It's uncomfortable. It's confrontational. And it's necessary. You'll hear everything as it happened: The pauses. The background noise. The MARTA. The sound of her powerchair shifting so she can breathe. I left it all in—so you can feel what it was like to be there. And the episode ends the way it ends. In real time. Jessica looks outside. The sky is turning. We leave so I can get her home before the rain hits. No perfect closing. No neat resolution. Just life continuing. "They're going to talk about it… not to your face, but behind your back." Not here. We say it out loud. This episode follows directly from Episode 3.12: Breaking Every Box. Jessica will be back. There's more to her story—especially the protest work she's been doing—and we'll bring you all of it. Check out more by searching "Loving Kindness Everyday" or "Kindness Calloway" online.

One night at the skating rink, Kindness Calloway comes across a scene that makes them stop and ask: "Wait—what are you doing?" That's how this unexpected conversation with Ria (@riabarkr) began.   What follows is a raw and inspiring exchange about more than just music. Ria shares how her mom trained her not only in voice but also in spiritual awareness, teaching her to use the reticular activating system (RAS) to focus her thoughts and create the life she wants. We talk about why training your mind is just as important as training your craft.   We're also joined by Tyyla (@tyylamusic), who was there the night Kindness and Ria first met, and we give a big shoutout to Ria's UK producer Jared (@jxred.wav) for his work on Bliss.   The episode closes with an invitation: take about four minutes to channel Bliss while listening to Ria's song by the name.

In this episode of Loving Kindness Everyday, Kindness Calloway sits down with acclaimed Bahamian-born artist Lillian Blades for a calming and detailed conversation that feels like one of her assemblages—layered, reflective, and deeply personal. Born in Nassau, Bahamas in 1973 and now based in Atlanta, GA, Lillian Blades is celebrated for her large-scale mixed media assemblages inspired by her island upbringing, her West African ancestry, and the legacy of her late mother. She holds a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), an MFA from Georgia State University (GSU), and has studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture as well as Caversham in South Africa. Her public commissions include works for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and The East Atlanta Library, and her pieces are held in collections such as the Birmingham Museum of Art and The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas. In our time together, Lillian shares in her own words how her process unfolds—weaving both found and constructed materials into luminous veils of art that evoke Memory, Spirituality, and Connection. Lillian reflects on the influences of her childhood home, her cultural identity, and the path that led to her solo museum exhibition Through the Veil (Sarasota Art Museum, 2025). This conversation is not just about art—it is about heritage, artistry, and the power of creation. Sit with us as Lillian Blades talks us through her world of creation her process and the opens up about the journey behind her work and the spirit that continues to guide it. 

🎯 Don't Miss This Game-Changing Episode Connor Lamb's story is already sparking important conversations about faith, authenticity, and courage in Christian communities nationwide. His honest account of life at UGA, his role in Athens Church, and the moment he chose truth over comfort is exactly the kind of raw, real conversation our world needs right now. Meet Connor Lamb Connor Lamb lived what many would consider an exemplary college life at the University of Georgia. As a member of the 2022 UGA Homecoming Court, College Outreach Director at Athens Church, Christian fraternity leader, and University Judiciary Justice, Connor was known as "Mr. Christian" on campus. But behind this impressive resume was a young man wrestling with a truth he'd carried since childhood. About Connor's Journey Connor's story is one of remarkable achievement alongside a deep personal and spiritual struggle. After graduating from Johnson Ferry Christian Academy, he built an impressive career foundation as Director of Training and Manager at Chick-fil-A Roswell Corners before pursuing his Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics and Risk Management at UGA's Terry College of Business. Throughout college, Connor served in multiple leadership roles - from his position as a University of Georgia Judiciary Justice for over three years to his impactful work as both College Outreach Director and Family Experience Director at Athens Church. His dedication to God, his community, his frat brothers and university was evident in everything he did.... but something changed.  The Conversation You Need to Hear In this deeply personal episode of Loving Kindness Everyday, Connor sits down with Kindness Calloway in an intimate living room setting to share his authentic story. This isn't about scandal or controversy - it's about a young man's courage to live truthfully despite the potential cost - lossing everything. Even his home.  Connor opens up about navigating same-sex attraction since a young age while simultaneously becoming one of UGA's most visible Christian leaders. He shares the real impact of choosing authenticity over expectation, and how his decision affected his relationships, his community, and his sense of self. Why This Story Matters Connor's experience speaks to anyone who's ever felt caught between who they are and who others expect them to be, especially in the church. His story offers insight into: The complexity of faith and identity Gay Conversion Therapy  Leadership under theological struggle The cost and courage of living authentically How communities respond to unexpected truths Finding your path when it doesn't match the plan This conversation showcases Connor not as a headline, but as a thoughtful, accomplished young man whose honesty has been helping others navigate their own difficult journeys.

Today's episode of Loving Kindness Everyday was recorded at Rachell Tires & Wheels, right on the corner of Memorial and Boulevard in southeast Atlanta, Georgia. While I was there, I met Alan D. Jenkins, and we ended up talking about Rivian, water, and responsibility. I'm excited to share that conversation with you, and I believe you'll find it just as thought-provoking as I did. If you missed yesterday's episode, be sure to go back and listen. It was an exercise in Constructive Thought Redirection, blending music with uplifting audio in both English and Spanish. It's designed to help us shift our mindsets and choose better thoughts—something I think you'll really enjoy. Beyond our discussion on electric vehicles, Alan also shared with me personally a bit of information about his work at Academy Mill Farm, a family-owned and operated farm providing grassfed meat from animals regenerating the soil. With deep roots in the land, Alan and farm are committed to protecting pastures, forests, streams, and the wildlife they share this home with. You can learn more by visiting Academy Mill Farm and No2Rivian.org to connect with Alan D. Jenkins and follow the ongoing Rivian battle here in Georgia. ✨ If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the show, share it with a friend, and rate it 5 stars on your favorite podcast app—> your support means something to Kindness and it really helps us grow and bring more conversations like this to you.

Constructive Thought Direction Tool How to Use This Tool: When your mind is racing, when circumstances feel overwhelming, when you need to stop the mental chatter - press play. Let these declarations wash over you. Don't try to think or analyze, just listen, dance around, speak the words and absorb. Let the repetition do the work of rewiring your thoughts toward what you want to experience.         You Must Stop Thinking and Start Declaring It's important not to let situations and circumstances dictate your thoughts and feelings. In order to maintain right thinking and keep your mind fixed on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely - things that are worthy of smiling about in life - these are the thoughts we should meditate on and hold onto. But sometimes it's tough, right? That's why I use a method I call Constructive Thought Direction - where I choose a thought that feels good and think it over and over, actively not allowing my brain to go on "autopilot" or "rest," so I can focus on thoughts that are good even in situations that FEEL less than good. This episode IS that tool.  What This Is: 🎵 Pure Affirmation Audio - No talking, no teaching, just transformation 🌍 Bilingual Declarations - English and Spanish affirmations for maximum impact 🎶 Uplifting Background Music - Designed to calm your mental systems and give you a new focus ⚡ Strength & Health Focus - Every word speaks vitality over your life 🧠 Mental Reset Button - Use when you need to redirect your thoughts immediately. This Episode Theme: STRENGTH & HEALTH (Sana y Fuerza) Every affirmation in this episode declares strength and health over: Your physical body and all its systems Your relationships and connections Your finances and business life Your emotional and spiritual well-being Your entire life experience This is Constructive Thought Direction in action - choosing what your mind focuses on instead of letting life choose for you. Perfect for: Morning mindset reset Stressful moment intervention Before sleep reprogramming Workout motivation Meditation background Any time you need to redirect your mental energy Most admittedly, this is far easier said than done - which is why having this audio tool becomes essential. Your own Constructive Thought Direction will become evident in your life as you use it.

This week on Loving Kindness Everyday, Kindness Calloway is back with a preseason short—a little drop of wisdom before we kick things back into full swing in September. What happens when you set everything up for your "summer of success"… only to see it taken away overnight? In this shorter, street-side chat with Ken from Alpharetta, a conversation about shipping costs, packaging, and the wastefulness of consumer culture opened up into something deeper: What is the true weight of our choices, and how do they shape the future for all of us? From there, we reflect on another kind of "wait"—that space of faith and patience when you believe things will work out but haven't seen it yet. This episode is about weight, wait, and waste—but also about how nothing is ever truly wasted when we allow the promise of a hopeful future (Jeremiah 29:11) to carry us forward. 💛 If you've ever worked hard only to have your plans interrupted, this one's for you. Remember: the waiting isn't wasted—it's part of the journey.    ✨ Don't forget to follow the podcast for weekly reflections, follow Kindness on IG: @KindnesstheKid for daily updates and behind the scenes peeks, share this mini episode with a friend, and get ready for our full September return.

What drives someone to run for hours? Through heat, snow, exhaustion, and intense physical pain? In this powerful episode of Loving Kindness Everyday, host Kindness Calloway sits down with the elite athlete and ultramarathoner Manika Gamble to explore that very question. Manika Gamble is officially a history maker as the first American woman of African orgins to complete the grueling 155-mile (250KM), 7-day, self-supported ultramarathon stage race in Namibia's Namib Desert which is the oldest desert in the world. Manika's strength, resilience, and determination pushed her through one of the most grueling endurance challenges on the planet and she sat down with Kindness Calloway to discuss it. What begins as a conversation about the reality of endurance running - the mental battles, physical limits, and pushing through pain, quickly unfolds into something deeper and thought provoking. As Manika reflects on the grueling challenge of her first ultramarathon, the conversation turns toward faith, spirituality, and motivation. The discussion moves into topics of religious identity, scripture, and spiritual struggle. Together, they discuss faith, the meaning of the 144,000 witnesses, and how certain Bible verses have been misused to exclude specific groups of people from faith communities. This conversation is unfiltered, thought provoking and unique. It invites listeners to sit with discomfort, reflect deeply, and hear from Manika Gamble in her own words as she speaks about endurance, faith, and the search for meaning.  Also meantioned in this episode;  Film 1946 and the spiritual harm caused to humans by mistranslations and bad theology Kathy Baldock and her work Kindness Calloway mentions the work of artist and Atlanta based activist Jessica Blinkhorn, a friend of the show and future featured guest.  🎧 Share this show on all podcast platforms and visit KindnessCalloway.com to find more ways to connect with Kindness in Atlanta.  🛍 Support the show by shopping BentleyFortune.com , an Atlanta based brand --> use code KindnesstheKid for a great deal and to support the show! 🔎 Keywords: Manika Gamble, ultramarathon, Black endurance athlete, Namibia ultramarathon, Jehovah's Witness faith, 144000 witnesses, Bible mistranslation, scripture misuse, 1946: The Movie, Kathy Baldock, Jessica Blinkhorn, spiritual abuse, Atlanta activism, Kindness Calloway, Loving Kindness Everyday podcast, queer spirituality, Black women in endurance sports, faith and resilience, desert ultramarathon  Be sure to follow Manika's next adventure and her reflections on endurance, fitness, and mindset on Instagram at @manikaruns.

LKE 2.7 || For When You Feel Like Giving Up – Real Talk with TJ Murphy March was supposed to be a month of success mantras and lovingkindness meditations, but life doesn't always go as planned. On March 5th, I lost my friend—who I'll call Bobby—to suicide. Grief hit hard, and with it came reflection, heartbreak, and the urgent need to speak on something deeper. In early 2024, I met TJ Murphy at an e-bike shop here in Atlanta. What started as a casual conversation turned into an open discussion about suicide, loss, and the impact it leaves behind. In this episode, I'm sharing part of that conversation—TJ's experience losing his father to suicide, how he processed the information, and the wisdom he has for anyone struggling with a hard time. Alongside the words of TJ Murphy from Decatur we also hear a reflection from Kindness Calloway on "Bobby's" passing, a message to anyone who feels like they can't keep going. Atlanta is a city full of resilience, but even the strongest among us need support. If you're in that place, please hear us: You are not alone. There is hope. Keep holding on.

Whether you're seeking clarity, ease, or a renewed sense of trust in life's unfolding, let these words guide you to a mindset of faith and flow.   Take a deep breath, relax, and allow yourself to receive. Your perfect conditions are already on their way.   —    

In this thought-provoking episode of Loving Kindness Everyday, Kindness Calloway sits down with David Crockett of Street Talk ATL for a raw and unfiltered conversation about faith, sex, and the Bible. Together, they dive into what scripture really says about sexual relationships—both within and outside of marriage—and how religious teachings have shaped cultural norms. The discussion also touches on the influence of figures like Andy Stanley and the evolving interpretations of Christian doctrine.   Plus, listeners get an exclusive sneak peek into an upcoming episode featuring Texas Senator Jasmine Crockett.   This episode also discusses 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, a documentary that explores how a single translation error altered Christianity's stance on homosexuality and continues to impact the faith today.   Prepare for an eye-opening conversation that challenges tradition, questions long-held beliefs, and encourages deeper exploration of truth and spirituality.    

Some stories unfold in ways we could never plan—this is one of them. This episode begins at the end, where filmmaker Sharon "Rocky" Roggio and I, Kindness Calloway, found ourselves sitting inside Andy Stanley's church in Alpharetta, Georgia, just after the 2023 Unconditional Conference. How did we get there? And what deeper meaning was woven into this moment? Recorded February 2024, this conversation unpacks the divine synchronicity that connected 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture, Andy Stanley, and the broader discussion of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Christianity. You'll also hear from Christian Amaro, who shares their perspective on how Stanley's words impact our community. We dive into the "gray area"—the space where some Christians believe homosexuality is a sin to be condemned, while others believe LGBTQ+ individuals are created and loved by God. Andy Stanley has positioned himself somewhere in between, and we begin the work of unpacking that tension. This is just the start. In future episodes, we'll continue this conversation with others who attended the conference and have strong perspectives on faith, sexuality, and biblical interpretation. This is a conversation about faith, love, and the stories that bring us together. Listen in, and let's keep unraveling the threads of divine synchronicity. Want to go deeper?

Have you ever faced a moment where life felt impossible, and then, somehow—beautifully, perfectly—everything changed in an instant, just when you were about to give up?   That's the kind of moment I'm sharing here with you friend. In this clip, you'll hear me, Kindness Calloway, speaking back in February 2024 with filmmaker Sharron "Rocky" Roggio. I recount a deeply personal time when I felt the Creator and all the forces of the Universe step in and provide me with exactly what I needed—money. For me, it was a precise, undeniable reminder of the Creator's unconditional love and deep desire for me to find joy and fulfillment in life.   As Florence Scovel Shinn so aptly wrote in : "Your big opportunity may be where you are now." In the book the Secret Door of Success she reminds us that faith and gratitude open the way to divine blessings, healing, and financial provisions. It's vitally important to keep a record of past miracles and/or seemingly impossible or random blessings. Helpful, you will find it in the those moments when the Soul feels weak. Looking back on past Divine Moments and Blessings serves as a powerful reminder that there's proof of Life's seemingly impossible provisions in the past and where we also see God's intention promised for the future (Jeremiah 29:11). Because of all of this, we can, if we choose to Rest. We can rest assured that what the God has done before can be done again—and more! We can be sure that what God has done for others can be done for me and more. And we can rest, hopeful, peacefully in gratitude for the past moments of victory and hopeful understanding that trials we currently face are somehow making way for greater blessings yet to come.   This moment is shared for anyone who feels like they're in a low place right now, searching for hope. Whether you're asking for a kidney, a paycheck, or simply a moment of peace in the chaos of all of this... you're not alone. The Creator of the Universe has called you by name, loves you deeply, and hasn't forgotten you—this is your sign.  Let's encourage ourselves together, just as David did in 1 Samuel 30:6, and boldly ask the Creator: "Do it again, Creator. Show me again just how much You love me. I need You. Amen."   If this message has touched your heart, we invite you to support the Loving Kindness Everyday podcast by donating $5 or more via Cashapp ($KindnessCalloway) or Venmo (@KindnessCalloway).

LKe 2.4 | "What Breaks Your Heart, Andy Stanley?" Subtitle: North Point Church and a Conversation with Georgia's Longest-Serving Openly Gay Legislator, Sam Park In this episode of Loving Kindness Everyday, recorded in April 2024, before Sam Park's re-election, we sit down with Georgia's longest-serving out gay legislator, Sam Park. Sam and Kindness have a candid conversation about life, race, politics, and…                     Andy Stanley!? Attorney Samuel Lauderdale Park, a Georgia native and grandson of Korean War refugees, shares how Andy Stanley's teachings and North Point Community Church shaped his journey through faith, grief, and politics. As the conversation unfolds Sam opens up about the personal loss of his mother to cancer and a family member to suicide, sharing how these painful experiences, paired with Andy Stanley's wisdom, influenced his approach to life and, ultimately, political leadership.  The controversial sermon Stanley delivered after the Unconditional Conference in October 2023, comes up and sparks a deeper, raw and at times uneasy discussion about skin color, the intersection of faith, love, and inclusion. What emerges is a candid discussion full of surprises, raw moments, differing views, and unexpected revelations. Also featured is a preview with Sharron "Rocky" Roggio, director of the documentary 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture. Rocky sat down with Kindness following their trip to North Point Church to discuss faith, inclusion, and the power of re-examining scripture through a lens of love and understanding.  Support the Show:  🛍️ Shop everyday and luxury items at KindnessCalloway.com. 🏷️ Use coupon code KindnesstheKid at Bentley Fortune for special discounts. 📺 Subscribe on YouTube and follow us on Instagram to support us by liking and Subscribing!

In this episode of "Loving Kindness Everyday," I discuss my personal experiences.  ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode delves into sensitive topics that may be emotion or upsetting for listeners.⚠️ I believe that by honestly sharing our stories and connecting, we illuminate the shadowy corners that shape shame and begin to realize that we are not alone -  don't have to be scared of "them" or our feelings... or anything at all really - especially not the feelings and opinions of people who don't support your Journey. I'm your host, Kindness Calloway, and in this is "Loving Kindness Everyday" the "everyday" is one word not two - like basic, everyday, normal, totally average --- and this is one such episode, it features everyday language and a story that I'm learning more and more is far too "everyday/common" as well...   and that is sexual trauma.  During this episode we will courageously and boldly explore some of the darker moments of my own life—ones I'd honestly prefer to just sweep under the rug and forget about all together.    But that's sort of the point... anyway since we all would rather not talk about it. I'll do it for the lot of us.    As I recount a specific part of my journey—not my defining moments but something that was a significant part of my journey - you'll hear my tale as I told to my ex-partner, Sarah during a recorded phone call. Later, joining the voices will be Jocelyn Vaughn, a survivor of human trafficking and sexual abuse, and an advocate within the community who also called into to the show.

I tried to fall asleep last night to be sleeping episode I made, but it kind of bothered me. I kept getting woken up by voices so I decided to redo it. Sort of this is just a sleep program in the background you're gonna hear voices and talking, but it shouldn't wake you up and it says things like, " I love how the Universe already knows what I want and has worked everything out for me." " I always get what I want. " " I love how I don't have to wait to get what I want." " Loving Kindness surrounds me." "People are always so nice to me." " how everything always works out so well for me" " I'm so sleepy. I feel so good and calm and relaxed right now." etc.   …basically it's just a bunch of power thoughts that I like to listen to at night time to fill my next day with joy and positivity and divine synchronicity so I am gonna share it with you. Also, I'll encourage you to listen to the intro and contact me about the Emily project as I'm going to be doing a giveaway and asking you beautiful people to choose the person who receives red and blue bag.  also I had to put Malcolm Gladwell in the name again just for fun because I was gonna stop podcasting that day that I met him. It really filled my heart then learning about him and his work. I think it's really great. He's my tipping point. I'm going to speak into existence our Great friendship… and you know I met him just after meeting Matt who won an Ambie …and you know ambien is how many Americans get to sleep, so… you know. Whatever. I'm here for a good time. Let's go.   also I hope this helps you fall asleep,"ambien free" and also Matt and I agreed about me winning that Ambie so (you know. That's Done ✅)  that's all I have to say. have a good day and check out my sponsor page on kindnessthekid.com help us out 😉   ps. A Divine shout out to Kevin Garcia who held the door open for me at the coffee shop and walked right into my Divine Synchronicity. I love it baby. I really do!

March is manifestation month so here are your affirmations for first class travel and love.  Anyone who is a fan of Robotic Affirming this is for you to dance to while you see yourself basking in the Sunshine while enjoying your first class vacation in Bora-Bora.  This was created with loving by Kindness Calloway, Loving Kindness Everyday with a special thanks for GarageBand and all my loving fans. Thank you for your continued support it means so much to me.

Welcome to the Loving Kindness Everyday podcast, I'm your host Kindness Calloway.   Join me as we embark on a journey of affirmation and manifestation, infused with the powerful energy of Jesus. Throughout this month, we'll delve into affirmations and mind-clearing audio sessions to empower your manifestation efforts.   As Joel Goldsmith wisely said, if the mention of Jesus offends, we can substitute it with a term that resonates, for the essence remains potent. I've personally found immense strength and efficacy in invoking the name of Jesus in my affirmations, so I encourage this, because it works! There is power in the name of Jesus when used in conjunction with our Minds.   Our Minds possess incredible power; they shape our reality and manifest our deepest desires. Through repetition and Belief, we can harness this power to manifest All of Our Righteous desires and see positive outcomes in our lives - even from seemingly impossible situations.   Consider the remarkable phenomenon of the placebo effect, where belief alone can heal and transform. By immersing ourselves in these affirmations, we can rewire our brains to align with our true desires, bringing them into fruition.   I invite you to join me on this transformative journey, where together, we'll cultivate a mindset of abundance, healing, and manifestation. May you find peace, joy, and fulfillment as you embrace the power of affirmations, especially when rooted in the name of Jesus. Wishing you all the best on your journey.

Sometimes people ask me about my name and some people assume that I was born with this name and compliment my parents. Then other people ask me if I changed my name,  yes, I did change my name, I changed my name legally and it actually came from a trip to McDonald's.   So here's the story here's how it happened I hope you enjoy and if you haven't listened to the other podcasts I would suggest that you go back and at least listen to introduction # 2 so that you can understand what I'm talking about otherwise it could be a little bit...not so easy to understand.  KiC

Catch a good feeling, catch yourself feeling good. Think about what makes you feel good. Is it others? Or... "what are you doing more than others?"  -Kindness 

I changed my name recently after my brother was arrested. The change in consciousness came after his arrest and the process of having to discuss the case over and over and over again. I will never call myself a victim, however, I did suffer and overcame child sexual trauma, my brother was the perpetrator and through the process of healing and understanding that the shame wasn't mine to carry or bear I learned - earned freedom.  In this freedom I felt encouraged to talk to others and while talking one day I ended up in a conversation where I for the first time understood the joy of having suffered this way. It's weird to say and probably weirder to hear but the truth is that he started interfering with me from age 2 (as young as I can remember) until age 11. From age 11 to my mid thirties I suffered from the shame and lack of acceptance and empathy from my family.  As an introduction to who I am and who I've been I want you to understand the person who is speaking to you in this podcast this is an a person who lived in fluffy life this isn't a person who changed her name to Kindness and now thinks that everything is bells and whistles and rainbows I'm somebody who suffered many times over in many different ways and like James said in the scripture I count it all joy. My suffering has proved beneficial and I share that with you in hopes that you can step back from your own suffering and see it as beneficial choose to see your path as valuable and required no matter how difficult it has been we can choose to change the narrative to change our thoughts and change our life.  this podcast started a bit different as I was editing a different version that I was going to post today totally unrelated and… well you'll see what happens.
