This episode is all about what it looks like to be in a state of receivership. Do you even know how to receive the good you think you’re missing? Do you know the difference in your own life between being a receiver and being a receptacle? Are you trying to be grateful for things you just don’t want because you think it’s your spiritual duty? Maybe the reason you don’t have what you truly desire is because you haven’t learned what true gratitude is, or how it works.
You’re invited to the conversation.
