ABOUT US
The Tenderness Revolution
The Tenderness Revolution is a podcast and a movement that's on a mission to change the way we think about ourselves, each other and the world around us. One conversation at a time.
Because we all have a tender heart at our core that longs to be present in the world, yet gets covered over with the beliefs and difficult experiences that we have throughout our lives. And the three C's: compassion, curiosity and courage, help show us the way back to tenderness.

WHO WE ARE
Yvonne Gavan

And is the roving editor for Blood Moon Poetry Press. Since leaving the UK in 2013 with her husband and three children she has lived in three continents, experiencing life on an island in the Caribbean and the deserts of Botswana.
