Generosity, Happiness & the Reality of Uneven Friendships

Mar 26, 2026

We hear a lot these days about boundaries, self-care, and protecting our energy. But what about generosity?

In this episode, Kristy Lauricella and I explore generosity—what it means, how it shows up in everyday life, and why noticing it can quietly transform how we experience the world. We discuss generosity as a mindset, not just big acts of giving; how to receive it from others; why acknowledging small acts of kindness matters; and the connection between generosity, gratitude, and happiness.
