Purchase of these ornaments supports my dream endeavor of starting my own podcast // The Kindred & Brave Project.

Life is messy and hard and full of opportunities to learn and grow. We believe that our humanness makes us kindred and sharing our stories makes us brave. The goal of The Kindred & Brave Project is to talk about the interconnection of strength and struggle in our lives by digging into topics such as mental health, emotional wellness, grief, motherhood, partnership, communication, and how to be learner instead of a knower. Mandy will share experiences from caretaking to the college classroom and beyond and offer actionable practices for listeners to try in their own lives.The Kindred & Brave Project aims to cultivate community by focusing on heart first, human centered, story driven connection.
