Welcome to this “Mini-Podcast” - short reflections (around 5-10 mins long) with ideas, tools and resources to help you live a more mindful, brave and kind life.

What is it that you love most about your closest friend?

How does this friend treat you when things aren’t going as planned? What words do they use to support you?

Can you imagine if you had this kind of relationship with yourself?

In this episode, Jono Fisher shares how kindness towards yourself can transform how you live, love and show up in the world. It’s an ongoing practice, but it’s the one that makes all the difference.
