KIND CURIOSITY

In this episode (14 to be exact) I review what I have learned thus far. This has been an amazing three months and I am proud of what I have done thus far. I do however, have more to learn and I would like to share what that is with you. I speak to what I have learned from each of my guests and how it has given me hope.

My podcast release schedule will change to every other Monday. This will give me time to really investigate my gue...

In this episode, I share real stories of animals who model kindness, empathy and courage—from trapped rats being freed by their companions and elephants being soothed by piano music, to heroic dogs and cats who protect and comfort their people.

In this episode of Kind Curiosity, I speak with Melisa Maloney, founder of A Gathering for You, about creating a space where people are allowed to have a true celebration of life for a loved one that has passed on.

Melissa explains why traditional spaces—funeral homes and churches—do not meet everyone’s needs when it comes to loss. Her work offers an alternative: a place where grief is not rushed, scripted, or stripped of humanity.

In this episode, I examine individuals who have the audacity to be kind toward those who are differently abled. Rather than viewing disability as limitation, they recognized capability and potential. They refused to define others by what they could not do and instead treated them as individuals capable not only of participation, but of excellence.

This episode explores what Kind Curiosity looks like when we reject lowered expectatio...

In this episode I sit down with Greg Maloney, owner of Promoting Abilities an organization in Green Bay, Wisconsin dedicated to teaching people with disabilities how to live independent, self-directed lives.

In this first full episode of the Kind Curiosity Podcast, we explore why kindness — when paired with curiosity — is not weakness, but leadership.

In a culture that rewards outrage, cruelty, and snap judgment, having the audacity to be kind is no longer optional. It is necessary.

This episode examines how Kind Curiosity has shaped history, why it feels so difficult today, and how choosing curiosity over dehumanization is one of the mo...
