Cultivating Mindfulness and Empathy in Children with My Kindness Calendar's Maran Stern-Kubista

In today’s episode, we chat with Maran Stern-Kubista from My Kindness Calendar. We learn why she left life as an opera singer and a career in law behind to build a brand based on kindness. How she’s turning a business, built with a seasonal product into something that makes sales all year long. How her new products are inspired by the resilience of children during COVID times. And why it’s so important to cultivate a kindness practice at home.
