Phillips, the wife of 51ĀŅĀ× Head Menās Basketball Coach Saul Phillips, said she uses kindness to overcome all of lifeās difficulties, including her own battle with breast cancer.
She said that the month of January is the perfect time to talk about kindness.
āI hope more than anything to remind people that our brains are constantly changing and it is possible to create new thoughts and pathways. It is possible to teach yourself to see the silver lining in any given situation,ā Phillips said.
Phillips has teamed up with WOUB to host a weekly podcast titled, āThe Kindness Podcast,ā and she also writes a weekly column titled, āKindness is Contagious,ā which runs in newspapers in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Adam Grimm, a Classified Senate member, said Classified Senateās professional development and public relations committee decided to host Phillipsā talk because of her positive message.
āThe University community should attend this event because we all go through tough times whether professionally or personally, and being kind is one thing we can all do to make the world a better place,ā Grimm said.
