The Power of Gratitude with Dr Dalene Deale

Welcome back to the Health in Wealth™ podcast.

I’m Ana Ramos, and as always, I’m grateful to share this space with you.

As we move through life — our careers, our ambitions, our daily responsibilities — it’s so easy to forget the one practice that can change everything: gratitude.
Not the gratitude we write on lists or rush through at the end of the day…
but the gratitude we embody — the kind that softens our nervous system, expands our perspective, and shifts the energy with which we meet the world.

Today's guest is someone who understands this deeply, and she is proof that even the most technical fields are made richer by heart, intention and presence.

Dalene Deale is a fintech strategist, regulatory specialist, and the founder of Business Growth Hacking. She brings big-picture clarity to complex systems, and her work influences some of South Africa’s most important digital identity and financial frameworks.

But what I find most inspiring about Dalene is not just her mind — it’s her humanity.
She is a high achiever who has learned to channel her ADHD, her lived experiences, and her unstoppable curiosity into a life filled with meaning, creativity, and purpose.

Today, we’ll explore how gratitude has shaped her path — how it supports achievement, expands resilience, anchors focus, and transforms the way we experience both our inner and outer worlds.

So take a breath…
Settle in…
And let’s explore the power of gratitude in a life lived fully, purposefully, and with a deep connection to wealth-being.
