Ground and Gratitude Podcast

How do you design a life that not only grows, but also gives? It’s a question that Lorilee Rager has been asking herself lately. From her upbringing on a rural farm in Kentucky to her career as a designer, entrepreneur, writer and professor, resilience has been essential. Now, Lorilee is determined to build on that foundation, exploring pathways to physical, mental, and spiritual health. There won’t be quick fixes, magic elixirs, or dubious schemes. Instead, you’ll hear plenty of honest conversations, expert advice, and reminders that the key to a healthier life lies within you and you have a choice to design the life you want. Because you are enough.

In this special episode, Lorilee unpacks her peacemaking tendencies in an effort to understand their roots and embrace the messy, muddy, middle of real, authentic life.
