Gratitude is great—until it isn’t. 🦃

Featuring a rant about the downfall of dystopian fashion in a rhinestone-filled apocalypse, an ode to bald eagles, a poetry-filled Mad Libs game, and some spicy takes on the gratitude journal phenomenon. Join Juniper and Laurel, discussing balanced gratitude and uncovering the holiday hype that leaves some people deflated.
