<p>Thank you for being here! </p><p><br></p><p>This episode is one I’ve been thinking about A LOT lately.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s all about the small things we do every single day that might seem insignificant to us, but actually say so much about who we are and how we move through the world.</p><p><br></p><p>How you speak to the barista. Whether you make eye contact. If you actually listen when someone tells you how they are. Whether you put your shopping trolley away. How you show up for your friends when it’s inconvenient. Whether you tell someone they look beautiful when you’re thinking it.</p><p><br></p><p>We get into:</p><p>- Why I think we should start normalising doing the “easy” things instead of choosing not to just because we can</p><p>- Why you should offer to take photos of strangers, friends and the people you love</p><p>- Telling people what you think instead of assuming they already know</p><p>- Why a five-second compliment can genuinely change someone’s day</p><p>- Being the person who tells your friend how proud you are of them, how beautiful they look or how much you appreciate them</p><p>- Why I think we’ve swung so far into “protect your energy” culture that sometimes we’ve forgotten how to inconvenience ourselves for the people we love</p><p>- What it actually means to show up for your friends when it isn’t convenient</p><p>- Why you shouldn’t expect a village if you aren’t willing to be a villager</p><p>- The difference between offering to help and actually just showing up and doing something helpful</p><p>- Asking people “how are you?” and actually listening to the answer</p><p>- Why I’d rather have an uncomfortable, deep conversation than a surface-level one just for the sake of having it</p><p>- Being LOUD and convicted about what you want from your life</p><p>- Why I stopped saying “it would be nice” and started saying “I will”</p><p>- The fear that comes with claiming a big dream before you know exactly how you’re going to make it happen</p><p>- Why your actions behind closed doors have to match the person you say you want to become</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is basically me getting a few thoughts off my chest about kindness, effort, friendship, ambition, manners and the tiny ways we can make other people feel seen.</p><p><br></p><p>Obviously, these are just my thoughts and opinions, and I’d LOVE to hear yours too. Tell me what you think we should normalise more, or the little things you pay attention to in people.</p><p><br></
