Summary
The Whole Again Podcast: Mindfulness and Resilience through Kinstugi Wisdom airs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Pause Breathe Reflect Microdose Meditations, Growth Mindset and Mindfulness Tips, to help us transform our scars into healing and resilience. And between May and October, I'm sharing a new series I'm calling: A Perfectly Imperfect Union. It's about connecting with every day folks as they reflect on America at 250. Conversations will air every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. ------- What do people get wrong about you? That's the question Linda Cohen brought back from a lunch table in Arkansas and it might be a key question America needs to ask right now. In this episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union , Linda, a keynote speaker, consultant, and author based in Beaverton, Oregon, makes the case that kindness isn't soft. It's a strategy. And after more than a decade of working with businesses and organizations on what she calls the economy of kindness, she's seen what happens when people actually lead with it. Linda believes that underneath all our differences, we're all the same. We want to be loved. We want family. And if we could just get curious about the person sitting across from us, the one who seems nothing like us, we'd find out we've been getting them wrong all along. If you've ever wondered whether the little things really matter, Linda's answer is yes, and she has the stories to prove it. Before you go, Linda has a question for our next guest and you: What do people get wrong about you? Share your answer in the comments and share this episode with someone you love.
