The Add Heart Podcast provides insights and deeper access to our heart’s intuitive guidance for more peace and favorable outcomes as we deal with the complexities of this time. As we renew our heart intentions together, we can better add heart to the world as well as to ourselves.
Kindness isn’t just a feeling – it’s a practice, a gentle rhythm we can return to again and again, with great benefit to ourselves and others.
Our host, Deborah Rozman, interviews Brooke Jones, Vice President of The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, which was born in the 1990s, with the purpose of making kindness a norm. It was during a summer of violence when a reporter noted that people should stop reporting on "random acts of violence" and start ‘practicing random acts of kindness’. That started a movement to explore how small acts of kindness can lead to profound changes in individuals, communities, and even the world.
Brooke shares her personal journey – from overcoming a challenging childhood and postpartum depression to dedicating her life to spreading kindness and inspiring others to do the same. She reveals how moments of kindness and compassion from others shaped her path and inspired her to make kindness the cornerstone of her values. They discuss some of the science behind kindness, its measurable benefits for mental health, and how it can reduce stress hormones, foster connection, and even improve longevity.
This episode also highlights the growth of the kindness movement, including its impact on schools worldwide through structured programs that teach respect, inclusion, and care. Brooke offers practical ways we each can notice and nurture kindness in everyday life, reminding us that even the smallest gesture can inspire a chain reaction of goodwill by others.
Tune in for an uplifting conversation that will leave you feeling hopeful, inspired, and ready to make kindness a norm in your own life.
