As we head into Thanksgiving week, I’m offering you a quiet pause—a soft place to land in the midst of the noise.

In this solo episode, I share a deeply personal story from a season of my life when gratitude felt far away—when I knew all the science and spiritual truths about it, but couldn’t feel it in my body. I talk about what happened in that season, what finally shifted inside me, and why I believe gratitude is one of the most transformational postures we can choose—even when it’s the last thing we feel.

We also explore:

• Why real gratitude is not toxic positivity—and how to practice it without bypassing pain
• The neuroscience of gratitude: how it rewires your brain and regulates your nervous system
• The difference between thankfulness, appreciation, and gratitude—and why it matters
• The spiritual practice of giving thanks for what you can’t yet see
• A simple but powerful reflection + daily practice for the Thanksgiving season

If this episode encourages you, I’d love for you to share it.
Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with peace, presence, and quiet beauty.
