Episode 13 – No Days off: Six Months of Daily Kindness with Francesca Donlan

In this uplifting episode, I sit down again with writer and kindness advocate, educator, nominated for a Pulitzer Prize 2 times in journalism Francesca Donlan to celebrate her halfway milestone in her Year of Kindness challenge. Francesca has spent 180 consecutive days practicing intentional, creative acts of kindness—documenting each one and inspiring a growing global community along the way.

We explore:
🌿 How kindness became a daily practice (even on the hardest days)
💡 Why she doesn’t count “ordinary kindness” and holds herself to a higher standard
🌍 The ripple effect of small gestures—like paying for coffee that inspired strangers across continents
🫶 How kindness improves mental, emotional, and even physical health
💖 The importance of vulnerability, self-compassion, and embracing our worthiness to receive kindness

Whether you’re sober, seeking purpose, or simply want more positivity in your day, Francesca’s stories will remind you that one act of kindness can change everything.
