    Welcome back to the Support and Kindness Podcast, I'm your host, Greg Shaw, and I just wanted to let you know that we're not going to actually air a podcast this week. We've got some people who are sick this week, some people who are on vacation, and some people are just playing hooky.

    Rich and I did record an episode for you, but unfortunately, yours truly had the audio settings wrong, and the audio just did not turn out, and I didn't want to bring it to you with all distortion and everything else like that.

    You deserve better than that. So, take a break this week. Put your feet up and rest. But I did want to let you know about some really exciting things which are coming your way. The next podcast that we're doing is episode 38, and it's what you can actually control. We're going to talk about things that are within your control and things that are not within your control, what you can control, what you can't.

    So that's something to look forward to. We're looking forward to that. And then after that, the next week is going to be adult ADHD, what you need to know. And followed by that, we're going to talk about kindness at work or kindness with a theme of work, and how much is kindness actually worth, and we'll spell out the cost of being kind at work and not being kind at work.

    How much does it cost businesses in turnover, retention, and all of that good stuff. So we've got some really cool stuff coming your way. So, take it easy this week and be kind to somebody, and we'll see you soon on the Support and Kindness podcast. Have a great week.

  • Episode 37: Your Emotional First Aid Kit

    Episode 37: Your Emotional First Aid Kit
    2026/05/23

    Content note: This episode discusses mental health crisis, panic attacks, and suicidal thinking. If you're struggling, call or text 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). International listeners: please use your local crisis line.When you cut your finger, you reach for the first aid kit. But what do you reach for when your heart is breaking, when anxiety floods you at 3 a.m., or when grief makes it impossible to get out of bed? Most of us were never taught.In Episode 37, Greg, Rich, Derek, Liam, and Sarah unpack what actually goes in an emotional first aid kit — and why you have to build it before the crisis, not during it.

    Liam reframes the whole thing as an emotional utility belt.

    Sarah shares how counting pulled her out of panic attacks.

    Rich realizes he's been using tools he never named.

    Derek leans on music as a full emotional journey.

    And Greg gets honest about the fact that he doesn't have a kit yet either.What you'll take away:The difference between an emotional first aid kit and therapyReal, specific tools — grounding, frozen water bottles, stuffed animals, music, counting, naps, beading

    • Why your kit needs to be quick to reach for, not just well-stocked
    • How to adapt your kit for pain, brain injury, or any chronic condition

  • Episode 36 Cruelty of The Inner Voice

    Episode 36 Cruelty of The Inner Voice
    2026/05/16
    Episode 36: Cruelty of The Inner VoiceWhat would you do if a stranger spoke to you the way your inner critic does?Most of us would walk away. Some of us would speak up. Some of us would call someone for help. But when that same cruelty comes from inside our own heads, many of us accept it as truth.In this episode of The Support and Kindness Podcast, Greg, Rich, Derek, Liam, and Sarah talk honestly about the cruel inner voice: where it comes from, why it can feel so convincing, how it connects with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, brain injury, shame, and self-doubt, and how we can begin answering it with something kinder.This is not an episode about fake positivity. It is about real kindness: the kind that tells the truth without attacking you.In this episode, we talk about:Why the inner critic can feel like “the truth” instead of just a thoughtThe difference between healthy self-reflection and crueltyWhy shame is not the same thing as disciplineHow anxiety and depression can make negative self-talk louderHow chronic pain, brain injury, ADHD, PTSD, grief, and life changes can give the inner critic “new material”Practical ways to quiet the voice in a hard momentWhy self-compassion is not weakness, but part of healingA few moments from the conversation:“Cruelty is not the same thing as motivation. Shame is not the same thing as discipline. And beating yourself up is not the same as holding yourself accountable.”“That voice may be loud, but loud does not mean truth.”“The same brain that learned to attack itself can learn to support itself.”This week’s challenge:One time today, catch the cruel voice in the act. Don’t fight it. Don’t argue with it. Just notice it. Then ask yourself:Would I say this to my best friend?If the answer is no, try saying to yourself what you would say to them instead.Resources mentioned in this episode:The Screwtape Letters by C.S.
