UPDATED WEEKLY

When Jamie Hess almost died, she woke up. As the daughter of legendary broadcast journalist Joan Lunden, it seemed from the outside that Jamie had everything… so why did she feel so empty inside? She pondered that question as she fell into a life of drug addiction, and when she hit her bottom, it hit her: nothing feels good until we get grateful… but we often don’t feel grateful until we have a wake-up call. Each week, we tell stories of turning pain to purpose... shared by some of the most inspirational people on the planet. Because an attitude of gratitude is the heartbeat of happiness... let's get there together.

A grateful reminder

Listening to Jamie’s conversation with Elissa Kalver, Founder & CEO of WeGotThis.org, I’m reminded that some people give far more than they take—especially those facing the toughest challenges themselves. Life rewards those who serve others, not with money or material gain, but with deep compassion, inner kindness, and a gratitude for life that no amount of wealth can buy.

Odd pauses between phrase makes it really sluggish, hard to stay captivated

The topics sound interesting but I struggle to listen, at regular speed or even faster speeds, due to the unusually long pauses between each phrase. Like one might hear in a mediation class when you are being encouraged to tune out distractions, especially the running commentary in your own mind. So for a podcast it doesn’t really work, it’s counterproductive.
