Deliberate Gratitude
Have you ever noticed how gratitude can transform even the toughest moments? It’s not just about saying “thank you” or counting blessings—it’s a profound practice that connects us to resilience, hope, and joy. But how do we lean into gratitude when life feels heavy, or when challenges arise that seem insurmountable?
On this episode of Building Resilience, we get into the concept of deliberate gratitude. I share personal stories and practices, from meaningful holiday traditions to life-changing experiences that taught me the power of gratitude, even in adversity. We’ll talk about simple, actionable ways to cultivate gratitude, explore its impact on the nervous system, and discover how it can be a source of healing and connection.

Die With Zero
Are you living a rich, fulfilling life, or are you waiting for the "right time" to enjoy it? Many of us are stuck saving for a future that may not come or waiting for the perfect moment to create memories. But what if the key to resilience and joy is found in living fully right now?
On this episode of Building Resilience, I dive into the insights from the book Die With Zero by Bill Perkins. This transformative book challenges conventional thinking about wealth, health, and time, urging us to maximize life experiences while we can. I explore concepts like time buckets, memory dividends, and finding the balance between saving and savoring life.
