When Vicki Anstey set out to row across the Pacific Ocean, her friends gave her a gift that became an emotional lifeline.

Vicki is an adventurer, entrepreneur and coach, and in this episode she shares how, when life got rough, it was the kindness of others that helped her feel like herself again.

A food shop from a best friend at the perfect moment, some tough business love from a mentor, and the most thoughtful bunch of letters… These kind acts demonstrate the love people have for Vicki, and this episode shows all of us that when we need some help, people can be so ready to give it.

After a very tough start to the pandemic, ex-marine Paul Harris decided he wasn't just going to sit around. In fact, he set out to do the complete opposite…

Now known as The Warrior Walker, Paul has walked the UK coastline twice and received so much kindness along the way.

Paul met a nameless old lady who gave time and money, wanting nothing in return; encountered a man on the internet who crafted a very unique gift; and was deeply inspired by his grandma - the very best cheerleader.

This episode shows how, when your thoughts get dark, talking about what's on your mind can help not only you, but so many others.

You can read and listen to Paul's book The Warrior Walker now.
