Episode Description:
It’s November again.
Like every year, our feeds are about to be overrun with reductive posts on gratitude, even more than usual.
I’ve done 3 episodes on gratitude over the years, all tackling some aspect of it. How gratitude is sometimes weaponized as a source of guilt or shame, where the line is between gratitude and toxic positivity, and, of course, the real positive impact gratitude can have on our contentment as part of a mindfulness practice.
Tune in today to explore how privilege, coercion, and cultural markers change what gratitude means to everybody, and how to redefine and reclaim your gratitude practice for yourself.
Show Notes:
