Kindness isn’t a throwaway nicety—it’s practical medicine. In this heart-opening conversation, Keryn and Vicki explore how simple, everyday kindness changes your chemistry, softens your edges, strengthens your hearts, and ripples through community. Through the pillars of Salt (grounded life), Sage (inner wisdom), and Stardust (cosmic connection), they share personal stories, science-backed insights, and gentle invitations to practice kindness in real time.

In this episode you’ll hear

✨ Why kindness feels like being “truly seen”—and how that recognition lights up your inner world

✨ Small moments that matter (the barista smile, the grateful “thank you,” the unexpected gift)

✨ How giving and receiving kindness can be surprisingly vulnerable—and profoundly healing

✨ The ripple effect: one act becomes many, shaping homes, friendships, and communities

✨ A live tarot pull: Knight of Swords—kindness as swift, intentional action

If you’re curious about the science of kindness, psychoneuroimmunology, social cohesion, and simple rituals that uplift mood, sleep, and heart health, this conversation offers grounded tools and soulful inspiration. Tune in to rediscover why kindness is a choice and a practice—one that changes us, and the world, in ways you can feel today.
