Let’s be honest, gratitude gets a lot of hype this time of year, doesn’t it? It’s all be thankful for everything, find the silver lining, and smile through the chaos. But what if you’re just not feeling it? What if “grateful” is the last thing you are right now?

Good news: You don’t have to force it. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m diving into the real talk about gratitude; what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s okay to have a big ol’ pile of things you’re not thankful for. Spoiler: You can still reap the benefits of gratitude while holding space for the tough stuff.

We’ll chat about:

• Why you don’t have to be thankful for everything—some things belong in their own “not-so-great” category.
• How to shift your focus to even the smallest joys (like your favorite comfy shoes or a sunny day).
• The magic of letting grief and gratitude coexist instead of fighting for center stage.
