I don't think we talk enough about the quiet kind of kindness.

The kind that happens behind closed doors with no recognition.

It's the parent who keeps showing up, the friend who sits with you in the hard moments, or the neighbour who just gets it.

That's the kind of kindness that shapes us as humans, and it deserves to be seen.

And that's why I've partnered with Humankind for Australia's Kindest Person.

I'm lucky enough to be connected to the kindness close to home category, which is really all about the people in your everyday world, the ones who make life feel a little safer, a little softer, a little more connected.

And this isn't about big gestures or perfect people.

It's about real humans choosing kindness again and again.

So if someone comes to mind right now, that's your person, and I invite you to take a minute and nominate them.

There's a $50,000 award split between Australia's Kindest Person and their favourite charity.

But more than that, it's a chance to honour the kind of people who often go unseen.

you can head to australiaskindestperson.com.au to nominate now.

And let's join humankind in recognising and rewarding kindness.

Ah, the human experience, with our flaws, our passions, our triggers, our inspirations and our imprints.

If we could see behind everyone's story, then perhaps what we would have is deep compassion.

In this podcast, I get the chance to explore these stories from some truly fascinating people in some honest and heartwarming conversations.

And best of all, I get to share these discussions with you.

I'm Lael Stone, and this is Humans Being.

Welcome to Humans Being, I'm Lael Stone.

It's a pleasure to have you with me today.
