About this listen

June Curtain joins Amanda for a conversation that will completely redefine how you think about kindness - and why you might have given up on it for all the wrong reasons.

You've tried being kind. You've bent over backwards for people. You've given until it hurt. And what did you get? Taken advantage of. Unappreciated. Burnt out.

So you decided kindness doesn't work. People don't deserve it. You're done.

Plot twist: What you were doing probably wasn't kindness at all.

Meet June Curtain:

  • Founder of "Snámhaí Sásta" (The Happy Swimmers) in Spanish Point, Clare
  • Daily sea swimmer who found healing in the ocean after losing her husband to suicide
  • Daughter of renowned Johnny Burke (who gave Brendan Grace his first gig)
  • A woman who embodies kindness so completely, it's infectious


Why Kindness Matters: "Nobody escapes this life without walking a step in pain. Nobody."

We don't wear badges announcing our struggles. You pass hundreds of people daily who are barely holding it together. Your kindness might be the only softness they encounter all day.
