Gratitude When Life Is Hard: 3 Practices to Be Thankful for Yourself

Gratitude can feel impossible when life feels chaotic, uncertain, or overwhelming — and yet this is when we need it most. In this episode, we explore why gratitude often feels out of reach during stressful seasons, and why shifting your practice inward (toward gratitude for yourself) is one of the most powerful healing tools available. I share three simple, grounding practices that help you: Build internal stability when the world feels unpredictable Strengthen resilience and emotional safety Reconnect to your worth, enoughness, and inner strength Experience gratitude as empowerment — not performance This episode is a gentle invitation to honor where you are, celebrate who you are, and remember that gratitude begins with you.
