Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 165 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

I really wanted to take the time to celebrate my Grandad and the wonderful memories I have about him. After he passed away a few days ago, I haven't been able to think about much else and I decided to create this podcast episode to dedicate to him.

Here are the life lessons I've learned from my Grandad:

Be a kind and forgiving person
Appreciate the world and nature
Tell people you love and care for them
Try to be resilient through the waves of life
Make other people feel special

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind xx
