In this raw and heart-opening episode of Our Friendly World, Fawn and Matt revisit the theme of kindness—not as a fluffy or performative gesture, but as a deeply rooted life force that shows up when we need it most. Amid personal uncertainty and difficult news, they explore how kindness often arrives in the form of small, unforgettable moments: a stranger’s generosity, a bird’s quiet presence, a smile from a hero, or a lifelong gift from a fellow traveler.
Together, they reflect on the distinction between being "nice" and being truly kind, the power of remembering kind acts from the past, and why noticing and acknowledging kindness is essential, especially when things feel dark. Through laughter, memories, tears, and scientific insights, Fawn and Matt offer a gentle, uplifting reminder: Kindness is everywhere—and it matters.
Why we need to hold kindness in our pockets
The emotional ripple effect of being seen
Stories of unexpected generosity—from a Swiss scientist to an Iron Maiden bassist
How observing kindness can actually improve your health
The quiet strength in staying present—even with tears
Whether you're in a season of joy or challenge, we hope this conversation will help you feel less alone—and more connected to the invisible threads that hold us together.
Be present. Be kind. And remember—you never know who you’re helping just by holding the door.
