"Kindness is really rooted in love.” - Cynthia Newsome

It’s official – the annual 31 Days of Kindness series (powered by the Big Shifts Foundation) has launched across the world, and Dr. Michelle Robin has invited a true kindness champion in the Kansas City community to celebrate it. Award-winning journalist Cynthia Newsome reveals what she’s learned about kindness after being an anchor for 25 years – even through some of the world’s darkest days and her battle through breast cancer – plus, why she continues to keep her heart centered on being kind. You’ll also hear what inspired her to launch Awesome Ambitions for young girls in Kansas City, and how this nonprofit is reshaping these girls’ futures and establishing a village around them to help navigate life. There’s also an incredibly emotional story about what one group of girls chose to do for three kids at their school that showcases what kindness does for the heart. Near the end of the episode, Cynthia will also share what she believes are some missed opportunities our world is missing when it comes to kindness.
