Episode 65: Meet two women who've gone viral for being the best of Americans!

The BEST of America! Molly's viral TikTok story reminds us that you never know who you'll meet if you 'Take Your AirPods Out!' Molly is 27 years old, lives in Brooklyn and is working for a fantastic company. In May, she was traveling back from Spain when an 81-year-old woman asked about her trip. She had her AirPods in, like always, when on the train. Something about this stranger made Molly take them out and the resulting conversation not only made her go viral but changed both of their lives forever.

And over the years, it has helped thousands of parents stay close to children they once struggled to fully accept after they came out. In this conversation, Nina tells Erin about the lives PFLAG has touched—and how one handwritten sign grew into a worldwide organization.

Kim is the mom of a 27-year-old son named Zachary. Against all odds, this miracle child survived an extremely difficult start in life.

Episode 62: An unforgettable 11 year old girl who's been helping others since Preschool

I haven't met anyone like Kendelle Reed before. Just 11 years old, Kendelle began her long history of empathy and wanting to make people happy at the age of 3. (I'm guessing it was even earlier, but that's when actual projects began...) With the help and guidance of her mother, this gem of a human spends much of her free time finding ways to make a genuine difference in her community. So much so that she received an award nearly always granted to adults. You won't forget this mother & daughter from Addison, NY and I think you'll be inspired long after the episode ends.
