INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Kindness is more than a simple gesture; it's a choice that can create lasting change. Returning guest Mindy Corporon, author, CEO, and nationally recognized grief leadership expert, joins Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh Soza to explore the power of intentional kindness, compassion, and showing up for others. Drawing from her personal experience with loss and her work with Seven Days, Mindy shares why being present, listening, and offering support can make a meaningful difference in someone's healing journey.
As she introduces her new book, Grief Leadership, Mindy highlights how leaders and coworkers can better support people experiencing grief, reminding us that loss has no timeline. She also shares lessons on navigating life's transitions through self-reflection, trusted relationships, and small steps forward. Her message encourages us to lead with empathy, choose kindness every day, and remember that sometimes the simplest words, "I'm thinking of you," mean the most.
