Listen "Bonus Episode- 10 Minute Gratitude Reset"
Episode Synopsis
Season 1 is officially wrapped… but I couldn't end without leaving you one more gift. This bonus episode comes straight from my heart, inspired by a moment that caught me off guard in the best way. A few weeks ago, I led a 10-minute gratitude reset for my company. Nothing elaborate. Nothing scripted. Just a simple pause to breathe, refocus, and shift our internal state. And the response? Overwhelming. People didn't realize how much their minds and bodies needed a reset until they felt the difference in real time. It was a powerful reminder of something I often teach in trauma-informed leadership: Your brain can't operate in survival mode and gratitude at the same time. Here's why this practice works: 🔹 Gratitude calms the nervous system. It sends the message, "You're safe," helping lower stress so your mind can settle. 🔹 It re-engages the prefrontal cortex — the center of clarity, creativity, and connection. When we're overwhelmed, this part of the brain goes offline. Gratitude helps bring it back online. 🔹 It expands perspective. Instead of scanning for what's wrong, your brain starts noticing what's working, what's possible, and where hope still lives. After watching how deeply this reset impacted my team, I knew I needed to bring it here to you. Because if 10 intentional minutes can give us room to breathe again, lift some pressure, and help us move through the day with more capacity… then we all deserve that gift. I hope it offers you the same breath of fresh air it offered us. Don't forget to like and subscribe to our show! See you next Season!
