Episode 28 – The Power of Anonymous Love & Recognition: My Conversation with Iris Barratt on Honoring as a Path to Healing, Connection and Peace.
What if one anonymous gesture could save a life?
In this deeply moving episode of The Mindful Hustle, I sit down with Iris Barratt, a visionary peacemaker and founder of HonoringEvents.com, to explore a simple yet revolutionary truth: when we honor others, we transform lives—starting with our own.
Iris has spent decades creating anonymous honoring programs that uplift self-worth, spark connection, and spread joy in ways that ripple out through communities and generations. From shifting suicidal teens back into hope… to celebrating spiritual milestones and everyday heroes… her work proves that genuine acknowledgment has the power to heal hearts and rewire identities.
This isn’t just about giving out awards. It’s about creating new traditions rooted in unconditional love, compassion, and storytelling. Whether you're a leader, coach, creative, or community builder, this conversation will unlock a whole new realm of what’s possible when you combine celebration with soul.
We dive into:
- The life-changing impact of anonymous recognition
- Why honoring builds circles of nobility and trust
- How storytelling and positive play can create lasting peace
- Tools you can use to create meaningful honoring events in your life and business
- Iris’ mission to translate honoring into every language as a global peacemaking movement
💡 Iris says it best: “When we honor others, we learn how to honor ourselves.” And when we do that? We become powerful vessels of harmony and impact in every room we enter.
