Holding True to Your Values in a Busy World

In this episode of Rural Child Health Chats, I reflect on the incredible women who have shaped my life—through both positive experiences and hard-learned lessons.

I dive into the three core values that define the relationships I cherish: 

• Kindness Over Criticism – Lifting each other up instead of tearing each other down.
• Connection Over Competition – Building genuine relationships rather than comparing or competing.
• Encouragement Over Judgment – Celebrating the little things that bring joy to ourselves and others.

I also share how small gestures—whether it’s complimenting a stranger, delighting in someone’s baby, or simply acknowledging someone’s effort—can brighten someone’s day (and your own!).

If you’ve ever hesitated to say something kind, this episode will inspire you to embrace the power of simple, meaningful connections.
