The Visible Kindness Podcast

In this solo episode, I reset expectations for the year ahead, reflect on what Visible Kindness truly represents, and explain why the direction of the show has shifted in a meaningful way. I also share why my own documentary and memoir are being paused — and why finishing someone else's story with care, integrity, and excellence matters more right now. This episode isn't a performance. It's an honest conversation about faith, pain, growth, and what kindness actually looks like in real life. If something stands out to you, I'd love to hear it.  Please leave a comment or 'thumbs up'. Visible Kindness grows through conversation, not noise. 🎧 Listen, subscribe, and share your thoughts at www.visiblekindness.com/podcast  Follow Visible Kindness: 📧 Join the Kindness Reset: https://pages.visiblekindness.com  👇CONNECT WITH ED: 🌐 Website: https://www.visiblekindness.com  📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EdSquire2  🎥 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@visiblekindness  📸 Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/ed_squire  LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/edsquire/  X:  https://www.X.com/VisibleKindness  Threads:  https://www.threads.net/edsquiremedia
