Some days your mind seems determined to catalog everything that's wrong, while completely skipping over the tiny things that went right. It's exhausting.
This episode explores gratitude - not the fluffy "think positive" kind, but the practical kind that helps calm your nervous system when life feels overwhelming.
You'll discover how noticing small moments can shift your emotional responses, why your brain defaults to the negative (and how to gently interrupt that pattern), and the simple practice of finding just two or three things each day to anchor you.
There's also a short guided practice you can do right now to start building steadiness from the inside. If you're carrying emotional strain and need something that actually works on the tough days, this one's for you.
