What if parenting wasn’t just about raising children—but also about becoming more human yourself?

In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I speak with Shevonne Hunt—presenter, producer, writer, and longtime champion of human stories. Shevonne shares her journey from radio and Kinderling Conversation to creating the podcast A Better World Blueprint, a show that offers hope, insight, and inspiration in a time when the world can feel overwhelming.

We talk about the emotional challenges of parenting, the role of compassion in family and community life, and what she’s learned from years of interviewing parents, experts, and changemakers. Shevonne offers wisdom on self-care, resilience, vulnerability, and how being helpful at the coalface of life can lead to deep meaning and joy.
