Episode 38: How to Feel Real Gratitude (Without Falling Into Toxic Gratitude)

Gratitude is everywhere this time of year... on journals, Instagram posts, Pinterest boards, and inspirational mugs. Everyone talks about how important it is to "practice gratitude," but what happens if that becomes toxic gratitude?

Real gratitude doesn’t require you to pretend. It doesn’t demand a smile or erase your struggles or silence your truth.

If you’re tired of being told you "should be grateful," or you’ve ever felt guilty for not feeling thankful enough, this episode will feel like stepping back into your own skin.

🧹Housekeeping note: the show will be on temporary hiatus until Tuesday, December 9th so that I can enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and have some time to focus on Simply Dag.
