- Fashion & Beauty
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more.” Even though it has been a challenging year on so many levels, we want to spend some time to focus on gratitude and silver linings. 2020 Faces of Sola Steven Wren and 2018 Faces of Sola Amanda Fagan are two of the most positive people we know, so we wanted to bring them back onto the Sola Stories Podcast to share how they have been able to stay grounded in gratitude throughout this pandemic.
Amanda believes that practicing gratitude not only makes her feel good, but throughout this year has become integral to her survival. And while gratitude doesn’t always come easy, especially during a global pandemic, these positivity pros share how they have made it a habit to actively practice gratitude every single day.
Listen as Jennie, Amanda and Steven talk about silver linings and how they plan to stay positive through the holidays, even though their holiday celebrations will look much different this year. They also share their ideas for showing the love to their clients and how they have learned to savor every moment and find meaning and joy in the simple things.
