Description

Catherine Kolomyjec is studying at Stanford University’s Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research to become a Global Ambassador for Applied Compassion.  She talks to us about her journey in social work, helping to resettle Bosnian refugees in Norway, sending hundreds of postcards to stranded sailors off the coast of WA during COVID lockdown and many more inspiring acts of kindness. 

Our table is set for a smart conversation with heart about kindness and compassion. These are core values of this podcast and so I’m delighted to be joined by Catherine - Perth’s own kindness guru -  who is spending every one of her micro moments connecting people and encouraging acts of kindness to create a more compassionate society.  She tells us it’s good for our heart and our brains … and our world.  

“The definition of compassion is a deliberate decision to lean into another person’s suffering and a commitment to doing something about it.” – Catherine Kolomyjec

My Warm Table, translated into Italian is Tavola Calda. These were the words my Papa used to describe a table of good friends, good food and good conversation. I always aim to create a tavola calda in my life and I hope this podcast encourages you to do so too!
