Transform from the Inside Out
All of us can achieve ethical and sustainable well-being for ourselves, our loved ones, and our planet by transforming from the inside out.
At One Planet Thriving, we integrate ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience to evolve negative habits into positive action using our entire brain, body, and soul.
Kindness for a Change is a series of trainings that are the most efficient, fundamental, and integrative transformational tools available to thrive, enjoy authentic and meaningful relationships, and collaborate to make the world better.
Can one person really make a difference?
(Spoiler: Hell, yes! And this training will show you how.)
We’re told to smile for Insta in a world that feels like it’s a dumpster fire. It’s exhausting pretending “everything’s fine” when deep down we know it’s far from it.
Like many of us, especially parents, the concern isn’t just for today but for the world our children will inherit a planet grappling with the damage caused by climate change, polluted air, contaminated water, dying soil, an ecosystem forever changed by “natural” disasters.
There’s a social chaos brewing, a constant flood of misinformation that makes it hard to know what’s real, and the feeling that the ground beneath our feet – democracy, stability, even a sense of normalcy – is all cracking apart.
And when we try to voice our concern, too often we’re met with an awkward silence or the empty echo of “thoughts and prayers.” It’s as if our collective anxiety is a taboo topic, one we’re not supposed to acknowledge.
This is a crisis born from a culture of disconnection.
The good news?
We can do something about it with Kindness for a Change a one-of-a-kind training that gives you the tools to cut through the noise and find real, lasting connection in a world that often feels hopelessly fragmented.
So if your heart beats with the urgency of now, if you’re itching to ditch the script that demands we all pretend everything’s totally fine, if you’ve looked around and thought, Surely, we can do better, … this is for you.

Hi, my name is
Dr. Donal MacCoon
I’m a clinical psychologist with a PhD from one of the top programs in the country. With 20 years of experience in science, 20 years as a therapist, 16 years of living in a cohousing community, and 13 years of personal life challenges, I’ve seen firsthand the power of authentic connection – and the devastating impact of its absence.
How Our Courses Change Lives
More Energy
Before KFAC, I didn’t have the energy to take on so much. Now, I accept discomfort, keep moving forward, and actually improve things in my life.
Changed My Life
KFAC is the missing piece in mindfulness and self-compassion. It’s so comprehensive—it’s changed my life, my relationships, and my work.
Actually Change Behaviors in My Family
If you value relationship building and tools to help our planet thrive, this is for you! KFAC gave me new ways to communicate stress and actually change behaviors in my family. The group felt safe, real, and supportive.
One Course You Do Not Want to Miss
This is one course you do not want to miss. It’s packed with tools to help you thrive, connect with like-minded people, and even make new friends. Donal’s delivery is empathic and authentic—sharing felt truly safe.
Made All The Difference
I appreciate your willingness to approach awkward topics—those taboos are the ones that imprison us. A year ago, I couldn’t even talk openly about important issues, but now I can. That’s made all the difference.
Peace of Mind: Understand the Brain & Nervous System
KFAC helped me understand how the brain and nervous system shape our reactions. Knowing this gave me peace of mind and hope for healing from past trauma. The resources and videos let me integrate the learning at my own pace.
