In this Thanksgiving episode, Josh and Jenna sit down to talk about gratitude in a way that goes deeper than the usual holiday routine. They share what it’s like to slow down, unplug, and appreciate the small moments in a busy season of life filled with work, travel, kids’ sports, and constant motion.
Josh opens up about how easy it is to live in the future and miss what’s right in front of you, and Jenna talks about how gratitude and presence can reshape your mindset, especially on the hard days. They explore why adults often slip into rumination, how stress can narrow your world, and why scheduling gratitude can make a real impact on your mental health.
They also share stories about travel, parenting, personal growth, and the unexpected gratitude that shows up when plans fall apart and life reroutes you in better ways than you could see at the time.
The second half of the episode is lighter, with Thanksgiving questions, funny debates, and a few stories that show the real side of family life.
This one blends reflection, honesty, humor, and real conversation about what gratitude looks like in everyday life. Enjoy it while you prep for the holiday, take a walk, or settle in with the people you care about.
