As we head into Thanksgiving, today’s episode is all about preparing our heart posture for gratitude. Whether you’re excited to gather with family, feeling conflicted about plans, or navigating the unique layers of adoptive motherhood during the holidays — this conversation is for you.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

  • Why gratitude rewires your brain and reduces stress
  • The spiritual side of thankfulness and how it recenters your heart
  • Five simple gratitude habits you can start today (no extra time required!)

Your Thanksgiving doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Messy, quiet, chaotic, emotional, or simple — it’s okay. God is with you in your season, and there is always something to be thankful for right here, right now.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my lovely mamas out there!
