I recently launched a podcast exploring the transformative and healing power of kindness. My first guest was Dr. Dan Siegel, a mentor whose work I was first introduced to during my time in the MSW program. His work, along with the exceptional training I received in attachment theory from Julie Ribaudo and Doug Davies, deeply informed my dissertation research at Arizona State University, and Dr. Siegel served on my dissertation committee.
This initial podcast conversation focuses on the healing power of mindfulness and kindness within family systems where trauma has occurred. Through this research and clinical work, I developed a kindness–mindfulness model that I now teach in organizations and use in my work with individuals. The podcast is titled Kindness in Action with Dr. Natalie Gruber.
