In this episode of Messy but Meaningful, I share some personal stories that taught me the power of gratitude — from the time my arm was paralyzed and healed, to near-misses on the road, to the car trouble that reminded me how thankful I am for our new-to-us vehicle. Life is full of challenges, but sometimes the obstacles are invitations to notice what we’ve taken for granted.

We’ll explore simple ways to practice gratitude in daily life — from journaling and affirmations to breathing exercises inspired by Joe Dispenza and Tony Robbins. I’ll talk honestly about how hard it can feel to find gratitude when life has been overwhelming, and how even small steps can shift your focus toward peace, faith, and joy.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down by the hard things, this episode is a reminder that gratitude is the easiest first step toward hope, alignment with God’s love, and a deeper sense of happiness.
