Most people practice gratitude all wrong, and it's keeping them stuck in mediocrity.
In this episode, Brad reveals why your gratitude practice is actually reinforcing your subconscious identity. What you appreciate (or don't appreciate) is a mirror showing you who you believe you are at your core.
Most gratitude is surface-level, performative, and survival-based. But real gratitude? It's identity work. It's rewiring your mind for success.
By the end of this episode, you'll look at gratitude completely differently (and you might realize you've been grateful for the wrong things that are actually preventing abundance).
Key Topics Covered:
- Why most gratitude practices reinforce your current identity instead of expanding it
- The difference between surface-level gratitude and expansion gratitude
- How gratitude language reveals your belief system

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
