Episode 94: The Healing Power of Gratitude

In this third episode of our four-part series on building a life you love—even in the hard seasons—we’re talking about the true, transformative power of gratitude. This isn’t about ignoring pain or slapping on toxic positivity. It’s about anchoring your heart to something real and good, even when life is far from perfect.

I'm also sharing how gratitude can shift not just your mindset, but your brain chemistry—boosting dopamine and serotonin, lowering stress, and helping you build emotional resilience. You'll learn simple, meaningful practices you can start today to help gratitude become a steady rhythm in your life, even in the midst of grief or struggle.

You’ll hear:

• How gratitude impacts your brain and body

• Why gratitude doesn’t mean pretending everything’s okay

• What it looked like for me to choose gratitude after deep personal tragedy

• Easy, daily ways to practice gratitude (that don’t feel overwhelming)

Key Takeaway:
Gratitude won’t erase the hard stuff—but it will remind you that the hard stuff isn’t the whole story.
