Nora Blum is a psychologist, entrepreneur, and leading voice behind the movement for Radical Kindness. As the founder of Selfapy, she helped pioneer accessible mental health support for people struggling with depression and anxiety — making therapy more approachable, scalable, and stigma-free.

Her path toward Radical Kindness began with a moment that many founders will recognize: an investor rejection during a funding round. But this one came with a twist — she was told she was “too kind” to succeed in the business world. This sparked a question that would shape her mission: Why is kindness so often mistaken for weakness?

Today, Nora is on a mission to reclaim kindness as a strength — one that improves well-being, deepens human connection, and even enhances leadership. Through her bestselling book and popular podcast, Radikale Freundlichkeit (Radical Kindness), she shares science-backed strategies to lead a more connected and fulfilling life — without saying yes to everything or avoiding conflict.

She also brings this message into organizations, offering talks and workshops on topics like empathy, stress, and workplace culture.

We’re proud to count Nora among our Supporting Partners — a voice of courage and compassion in the entrepreneurial world.
