Episode Synopsis

Every year near Thanksgiving, Joree gets practical about gratitude - beyond seasonal clichés and without bypassing what's hard. You'll learn how to work with your brain's negativity bias, use neuroplasticity to "take in the good," and practice gratitude that deepens presence, resilience, and connection, especially in relationships. Joree also shares favorite tools from her book A Year of Gratitude (365 daily prompts and practices), the "one thing, five reasons" exercise, and a simple guided practice for receiving appreciation so it actually lands. If you've worried that gratitude means ignoring the storm, this conversation shows you how to acknowledge the storm and feel the rainbow when it comes - no spiritual bypass required.   Connect with Joree Rose: • Website: www.joreerose.com • Instagram: @joreerose • Subscribe to her podcast: Journey Forward with Joree Rose • Join the Podcast Membership: https://joreerose.com/journeyforwardpodcast/   Connect with Joree & John for relationship work: • Website: www.loveisntenough.net • Instagram: @loveisntenough33 • Subscribe to their podcast: Love Isn't Enough • Join our relationship Master Class series: https://loveisntenough.net/masterclass/
