Silver Linings

We all know there are painful events going on. And while we don’t want to bury our heads in the sand, the truth is that constant bad news doesn’t motivate us to take action. In this uplifting episode, Stacey and Lisa tally up selfless, fun, “good stuff” that will leave your feeling full-hearted and hopeful. 

There’s no doubt the pandemic has been challenging and tragic. But from smog-free skies to knowing your neighbor, it’s opened our eyes to new possibilities. Hear Lisa and Stacey reveal the powerful new politics and policies they hope will become a permanent part of the world’s DNA post-pandemic. They also share a list of websites, organizations, #hashtags and Facebook groups that are spreading positivity during these difficult times.

Overall, people are good. People are kind! And kindness comes in the form of action, big and small. So whether you’re simply calling your neighbor or doing something for your child, these actions add up to make a meaningful difference. An essential way to keep all the good going is to continue to take small, heartfelt action for one another.

The uplifting truth is that when called to, people rise to the occasion and do good things for one another (even if the news doesn’t make it obvious).
