Mel is teaching you a few simple gratitude practices, ones you can do with your family, your partner, or even in a group text, that are proven to lower stress and make any relationship better.
Mel used to cringe at the word gratitude.
The fake smiles. The toxic positivity. The pressure to be “thankful” while your life is falling apart.
But then she uncovered the real science – and what it does to your brain and body is shocking.

You’ll learn:
-How gratitude shifts your brain out of survival mode and into clarity and calm
-The surprising link between gratitude and inflammation, heart health, and sleep
-How one group text a day can make gratitude stick (and make it contagious)
