Kindness Matters is a podcast about building a more human world—through connection, community, and everyday acts of care.

Hosted by Mari-Lyn Harris, Advocate for Humanity and Catalyst for Kindness, this show explores what it means to belong, to support one another, and to create lives rooted in compassion. From personal stories to community solutions like Kindness Village, each episode is a reminder that kindness isn’t small—it’s transformative.

We also cover climate change, sustainability, belonging, and sharing stories.

So if this resonates with you, I’d love for you to follow along…

And if you’re someone who cares about kindness, community, and making a difference in how we live…

You’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here…

Spoke to Vivian to day about Measure W and how she thinks it is going to work. It's more of a conversation of how and her biggest wish for the funds that are coming. https://http://abode.org
