In this episode, Gregory explores how gratitude functions as a mirror of self-recognition, not dependency — a forensic examination of acknowledgment, choice, and personal authorship. When gratitude is authentic, it confirms your participation in life. When it’s performative, it becomes emotional currency — traded for validati...
