E38 – Teaching Our Little and Big Kids That Kindness Matters

What if one of the most powerful things you could do for your kids costs absolutely nothing? In this episode, host Sonia Dong sits down with Marcia Agius, founder of the Kindness Circle, to explore how families can weave intentional kindness into everyday life.

Marcia shares how her own parents modelled kindness and how that inspired her to launch a 52-week kindness challenge that grew into a thriving community movement.

Sonia and Marcia unpack the difference between being nice and being truly kind, why kids need to see kindness in action rather than just hear about it, and simple, low-cost ways to get your whole family involved.

Whether it’s complimenting a stranger or paying for someone’s meal, this episode will leave you inspired to take one small step that could change someone’s entire day.
