The world becomes better when kind humans succeed.

But too often, people with the biggest hearts opt out of influence or leadership, fearing they’ll have to become someone they’re not, or that power means sacrificing their values.

This podcast is a gathering place for everyone who wants to believe that it’s possible to lead with high standards AND kindness.

If you crave reminders that there is always a way to show up with kindness and courage this is for you. This is for us.

Each episode is an intimate voice note, sometimes from me: Noomi, sometimes from a guest, sharing real, uncensored thoughts, important questions and practical stories. These notes are like a conversation with a friend who sees your strength, believes in your goodness and reminds you to treat yourself as an asset.

We show up shoulder-to-shoulder, not to be taught, but to be strengthened by each other’s wisdom and presence.

We explore what it means to lead powerfully and kindly, to hold high standards without burning out, to experiment with “AND” thinking when the world wants either/or, and to grow stronger and more courageous because of our past, not in spite of it.

Come for a fresh perspective, to reconnect with your inner power and to remember you’re not alone. Stay because you want to be part of a movement that believes: Kindness is what makes power safe and that creating meaningful impact starts in our own hearts, every day.

We are The PowerKind. Together, we’re building the world we want to live in, one voice note at a time.

In this episode, Noomi explores what truly determines if an act is kind: is it the intention behind the action, or the experience of the person on the receiving end? Drawing from personal experience and principles of neurolinguistic programming, she dives into the complexities of kindness, highlighting the importance of listening, learning, and self-care in building genuine, powerful compassion over time.

Key ideas:

• The debate: Is kindness defined by intention or by what is received? 00:00:08
• The impact of listening and willingness to learn after a misstep 00:03:05
• Why kindness should be viewed as a long-term, ongoing practice 00:04:45
• The importance of treating yourself as an asset to sustain kindness towards others 00:06:00
• Building capacity for kindness through self-compassion and reflection 00:07:45
