stigma?
In this moving episode, we explore how one mother’s desire to raise compassionate children is challenging generational fear and social stereotypes. After growing up in a town with no diversity, she’s now raising her kids to see humanity in everyone. When her 8-year-old son approached a man experiencing homelessness outside of Saks in New York and offered to buy him a meal—all on his own—it sparked a conversation about what keeps so many from doing the same.
We also reflect on the lasting impact of small, early moments—like being told no when trying to help—and how stigma around mental illness, addiction, and safety can stop people from extending kindness. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the boldest compassion comes from the youngest hearts.
