Kushner &amp;nbsp; Contact mark@recoveredcast.com Recovered Podcast Website &amp;nbsp; Show Notes: In the journey of recovery, we often focus on the importance of self-care and healing. But just as vital is the practice of kindness – both towards ourselves and those around us. Being kind to ourselves means acknowledging our struggles, celebrating our progress, and embracing self-compassion. It's about silencing that inner critic and replacing it with words of encouragement and understanding. Remember, recovery is a process, and setbacks are a natural part of the journey. By extending kindness to ourselves, we create a safe and nurturing space for growth and transformation. Tonight, we talk about Kindness. &amp;nbsp; Sustaining Partners:&amp;nbsp; Becky, Kim, Ginger, Audry, Breanne, Tina, Joel, Martin, Shelly, Amanda, Schez, Jose, Vicki, Megan.
