But what I really focused on is you know things in the school and things that had helped me. Just I just have these ideas of these kids walking down the hall and they're struggling and seeing a shirt that said, you've got this, you know, or you're strong or you're brave and being like okay, I've got this.
Imagine a world where kindness is as common as the air we breathe. In this episode of the Hard Knocks Podcast, host Jourdan Watts chats with Emily Hessey about her inspiring initiative, The Kindness Matters Project. Emily has designed eight different shirts, each carrying a unique message of encouragement and positivity. These shirts are more than just fabric; they’re a movement aimed at kids, parents, and teachers to help them see the good in everyday life.
Emily opens up about her own experiences with bullying and how it fueled her passion for spreading kindness. She believes that recognizing and celebrating the good can make a world of difference, especially in schools where negative experiences often overshadow positive ones.
“I think that we spend so much time focusing on the bad and, maybe you know, focusing on the good, like, hey, you know, you worked your butt off on that test way to go, and maybe that would do something for somebody you don't ever know,” she shares. The conversation dives into the impact of these positive messages in educational settings.
Emily and Jourdan discuss how a simple act of kindness can ripple through a community, uplifting spirits and fostering a more supportive environment. They also explore practical ways to promote kindness and positivity in daily life. If you’re looking for a dose of inspiration and practical advice on how to make kindness a part of your everyday routine, this episode is a must-listen.
