Description

Welcome back Friends. In this episode, I share a quick snippet of what you can expect from the podcast (and me) for the rest of the year, but more importantly, we dive into Thanksgiving. How right now, we’re being called to hold the Both/And - fear and hope, sorrow and joy, destruction and expansion, grief and gratitude. And the grief and gratitude is what we are specifically called to hold this week on American Thanksgiving. 

TUNE IN TO EPISODE 26 FOR:

• How do we have a balanced Thanksgiving honoring the grief and tragedy of what the holiday represents for Indigenous Americans while also allowing gratitude?
• Some interesting insights and truths about the history of “Thanksgiving,” the genocide of Indigenous Americans, and white settler colonialism
• How gratitude literally raises your vibration (and to the same frequency of love!)
• Why gratitude matters right now and some easy and effective ways to experience and be present with gratitude this season.
