In this opening episode of the Kindness in Motion podcast, hosts Suzy and Parry explore why kindness can’t stay passive — and why it matters more than ever in a world where so many people feel unseen, unheard, or quietly shrinking.

They talk honestly about the loneliness pandemic, online cruelty, and the emotional impact of being misread, dismissed, or pushed to the edges. Drawing on lived experience, including Suzy’s late diagnosis of autism and ADHD, they unpack how harmful patterns on social media and in everyday life can slowly erode confidence, visibility, and connection.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt invisible or “too much.” It’s for people who care deeply but feel tired, overwhelmed, or stretched thin. It’s for listeners who want to believe kindness still exists — even when the world feels sharp — and for those looking for a kindness podcast that doesn’t sugar-coat reality, but still makes space for hope, courage, and repair.

Suzy and Parry explore what real kindness looks like: not politeness, not perfection, but active, noticing, interrupting kindness. The kind that steps in before someone disappears into silence. The kind that moves through communities, friendships, workplaces, and online spaces like warmth moving through a cold room.

Each episode of the Kindness in Motion podcast ends with a simple, human-sized act of kindness you can try in your own life. This week’s invitation is small but powerful: think of someone who’s been a little quiet lately and send them a short message — no fixing, no pressure, just a bit of warmth to say, “You’re not forgotten.”

Key themes in this episode include:

• • Why kindness is more than “being nice” — and why it’s a lifeline
  • The loneliness pandemic and feeling invisible in a hyper-connected world
  • How online bullying and subtle cruelty echo real-life harm
  • Neurodiversity, late diagnosis, and seeing harmful patterns more clearly
  • How small, consistent acts of kindness can keep people visible

Kindness doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to move. And when kindness moves, people feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.

New episodes every two weeks: Suzy and Parry return with conversations about kindness, courage, loneliness, mental health, neurodiversity, and the real stories that keep communities going. Sometimes it’s just the two of them; sometimes they’re joined by guests who bring their own lived experiences of kindness, harm, and healing.
