You're not alone, and this week, I'm thrilled to share the space with Alex Walton, the brains behind "The Kind Mind Method," as we address the all-too-familiar battle with negativity. Our heart-to-heart conversation journeys through my personal struggles with mental health and the techniques I've found unbeneficial, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and gratitude practices.
Alex Walton takes the spotlight, recounting his own quest for mental serenity and how it led him to craft an innovative approach for silencing those stubborn negative thoughts. The stories we exchange about simple yet powerful positive questions and Alex's unique method will empower you to shift your mindset towards a more peaceful and benevolent outlook. We also touch upon the joy that giving and receiving random acts of kindness can bring into our lives, an often overlooked yet potent remedy for the soul.

I hope I can leave you charged with the uplifting truth that the smallest acts can wield the greatest transformative power.

It's one thing to highlight the kindness that we see in the world, but it's another to, as I put in many of my social media posts, #bethechange. I am donating all of my royalties from the sale of my book, Change A World; In Order to Change The World to local and national non-profits. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
