The power of human connection

Loading player...
Jump into the latest KindnessCan episode with Jane Linley-Thomas and psychologist Paul Bushell as they unpack "The Power of Human Connection."
This one's all about the simple stuff—why laughter matters, the beauty of slowing down, and the magic in connecting with each other in our crazy-fast world.
Paul emphasises the importance of giving ourselves permission to laugh and play, underlining the underestimated value of these moments.
This episode isn't about grand gestures; it's the small, everyday kindness that can change the game.
Jane reminds us that changing the world doesn't need a superhero cape—it can start with your next-door neighbour.
They spill the beans on their recent trip to Pietermaritzburg for World Homeless Day. Forget serious stuff; they found out how play and connection can be superheroes, too. No capes required.
Listen in for a chat that's as real as it gets – with some heartwarming stories that might just change the way you see kindness.
