What if mastering multiple skills could lead to a richer, more connected life? This week on the Kindness Matters Podcast, we're thrilled to welcome Sarah Stewart, a remarkable individual known for her boundless kindness and diverse talents, ranging from photography and travel writing to homeschooling and entrepreneurship. Sarah shares her thought-provoking journey of honing various crafts with intent and passion, all while reflecting on how the pandemic has reshaped our social interactions. Learn from her insights on breaking societal norms and the profound value of lifelong learning.
Board games aren't just a pastime; they're a gateway to human connection. Sarah takes us into her world of over 1200 board games and annual family trips to the World Board Game Championships in Pennsylvania. This vibrant community event contrasts sharply with the competitive, often isolating nature of video games, highlighting the importance of kindness and responding to those who reach out. Discover how these games, and the principles they embody, can foster a sense of community and support that's increasingly rare in today's fast-paced world.
Wrap your mind around the transformative power of genuine listening and creative expression. In this segment, we delve into the importance of authentic, attentive conversations and how asking, "How are you, really?" can change lives. Sarah also introduces us to PolyKindred, a collective that nurtures artists through community and shared endeavors, underscoring the indispensable role of creativity in human life. Concluding with a discussion on the uplifting power of positive interactions, this episode is a compelling reminder of how small acts of kindness and the joy of creativity can enrich our lives and those around us.

Do you dread Mondays? Does the thought of another Monday steal the joy of your weekend? Let me tell you about a product I have found and tried that can do away with the Sunday Scaries. Oddly enough, it’s from a company called Sunday Scaries. I have personally tried their products, gummies and tinctures and I can personally attest to their efficacy. If you go to their website and order any product, use the code Kindness20 to receive a 20% discount on your order.
Do you like good coffee? Are you like me and go to bed in anticipation of a great cup of coffee in the morning (and afternoon, maybe). Then let me introduce you to my newest sponsor, Coffee Bros. They have built their business on the cornerstones of sustainability, quality, consistency, and freshness. From coffee to brewing techniques to coffee and espresso machines, they should be your go-to for all things coffee. And if you order from them, use the code Kind10 to get a 10% discount on your order.
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!

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Karen Scruggs, a devoted nurse with both bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing, who also hosts the insightful podcast "Karen's Nnquisitive Korner."
