Today, I am grateful. Grateful for my fellow writers, all of you listeners, and for this podcast.
In this episode, I am holding space for those who might be struggling with the Thanksgiving holiday while exploring how gratitude can ground us in the midst of life’s challenges.
This episode reflects on:
• The duality of emotions surrounding holidays, elections, and the uncertainties in life.
• The transformative power of gratitude, especially during dark times, and how it can support mental health and resilience.
• How gratitude intersects with writing, helping authors find bright spots even in tough stories, creating balance and depth in their work.
