Can one small act of kindness change someone's life?

During Random Acts of Kindness Week, Carrie challenged her high school students to spend five dollars making someone else's day a little brighter. One group of shy girls chose a simple idea—buying single roses and leaving encouraging notes on random car windshields.

At first, Carrie wasn't convinced their idea would make much of a difference.

Then an unexpected email arrived.

A woman struggling with severe anxiety shared that, on the very day she had bravely ventured into Walmart as part of her therapy, she returned to her car to find a single rose waiting for her. She believed it was exactly the encouragement she needed—and what happened next left an entire classroom speechless.

In this episode, Carrie shares a powerful reminder that we often underestimate ordinary kindness, never realizing that the smallest gestures can become the biggest moments in someone else's story.

Every Christmas, Carrie hangs a tiny pair of white baby shoes on her tree. Most people never notice them—but to her, they tell the story of three little boys, countless bedtime routines, rushed Tuesdays, toasted sandwiches, and a mother's love.

In this heartfelt episode, Carrie reflects on the beautiful chaos of raising children, the guilt so many parents carry, and the ordinary moments that quietly become the memories we treasure most.

Whether you're in the middle of raising little ones, launching adult children, or simply longing to be more present in your own life, this episode is a gentle reminder to notice today's moments before they become tomorrow's memories.

What if one unexpected phone call could change a student's confidence, strengthen a family's relationships, and even transform the way you see people?

During her first years of teaching, Carrie started making positive phone calls home—not because students had earned perfect grades, but because they had shown kindness, leadership, perseverance, or character. What she never expected was the lasting impact those simple conversations would have. Years later, parents were still saving her voicemails, and one unforgettable phone call to a student named Brock became a reminder that encouragement has the power to shape lives.

In this episode, Carrie shares why she's convinced we don't have a shortage of good people—we have a shortage of people who intentionally notice the good.
