In this episode on Kindness as a STRENGTH, Jenna brings to mind the misconception some have that kindness is a weakness. Kindness is most definitely NOT a weakness. Kindness is actually a character strength within the virtue of humanity in positive psychology!

Jenna connects deeply to this message and helps to make sense of this common misconception. She elaborates on the strength of kindness alongside the health benefits of practicing sincere kindness, kindness to others, and self-kindness. Come out of this episode having built greater Peace of Mind around how to own your kindness as a strength and badge of honor ... and kick misconceptions to the curb!
