Ep65 - The Grateful Ask: A Return to the Dinner Table with Chris Schembra
Got ten minutes? Then grab a seat at the table. Because, when it comes to gratitude, the secret is in the sauce. If those words sound familiar, they should. It was during our very first episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast where we first heard that message from guest Chris Schembra. Since that time, The Gratitude Guru, as he is called, has held space at the table for thousands of dinners and conversations to take place. His 747 Club has created connections and an abundance of grateful shares over the past six years. I know. I’ve been there. So, on this special Thanksgiving episode, we head back to the dinner table with Chris to recall some of our favorite moments from Episode 1. And before you sit down at your own table, take time to feast on what was shared. It is sure to fill your heart and have you asking for seconds. To learn more about Chris Schembra, the 747 Club and his book Gratitude and Pasta: The Secret Sauce of Human Connection, visit the website. For the full conversation with Chris, make sure to listen to Episode 1. And if you are really ready to get your gratitude on, make sure you download the Gratitude and Havening guided session with me. It’s a wonderful way to be kind to your mind. Just click the link so you can watch it anytime you need some extra brain candy.
