Raising Kind Kids in a Chaotic World (Featuring: Teresa Ramirez)

What if kindness wasn’t just a “nice idea,” but a daily practice that actually changes families—and the world?

In this episode of Taboo Talks with Krystal, I’m joined by Teresa Ramirez, award-winning, best-selling author, motivational speaker, and Founder & CEO of Journey in Kindness. Teresa is on a mission to help loving parents intentionally raise kind, happy, and emotionally healthy children in a world that often feels anything but kind.

We talk about why kindness gets dismissed as “something we already know,” why knowing isn’t the same as practicing, and how intentional acts of kindness can shift family culture, emotional regulation, and long-term outcomes for kids. Teresa also shares how parents can step into the role of CEO of their family, creating homes rooted in compassion, joy, and connection—without perfection or pressure.

This conversation is practical, encouraging, and deeply needed for parents who want to raise children who are kinder, more accepting, and more emotionally grounded.
