It feels harmless, but the truth is… complaining is quietly stealing our joy and peace. In this episode, we’re talking about why we complain, what it’s really doing to our hearts, and how to stop — not by pretending everything’s fine, but by shifting our focus toward gratitude and contentment.   At the end of this week, I’m kicking off No Complain November — a challenge to stop grumbling and start practicing daily thanksgiving. I’ll be doing it right alongside you, and I’m already expecting it to challenge me. But I truly believe that when we change our words, we change our hearts.
