The Art of Giving With Julie Kent MBE

benefits of charitable work the art of giving the wellness entrepreneur podcast May 06, 2021

Every wellness entrepreneur aspires to create a business that helps people. But what are the benefits and drawbacks of living a life of giving to others?

The best person to answer that question must be the woman who just received an MBE for her decades of tireless charitable work.

In today’s Wellness Entrepreneur Podcast episode, I talk to Julie Kent MBE about the loss that started her journey of giving and how her work has strengthened and supported her throughout the years.

In this interview, we explore:

- The challenges and joy of caring for sixty teenagers as a housemistress

- How giving your money or your time can be beneficial to your mental and physical health

- The pressures of being the upbeat, optimistic one

- Recognising and fully dealing with your own grief

- Nearly deleting the email that informed her of the MBE award

- Why higher-ups in a company should set charitable examples for employees to follow

The world has become more generous in the last year as we all go through a once-in-a-lifetime trial together. It’s very important to both cherish this urge to help the people around us and also to take care of ourselves. Julie’s life is testament to how much can be achieved if we can turn the impulse to be helpful into a sustainable effort to do good in the world. Tune in to the episode here.
