Three days after Thanksgiving, I'm back with the second half of the "NO Thanks / Thanks" series. This isn't the fluffy gratitude list your therapist wants you to make. This is the real version: the car-in-the-wildfire, we-built-this-city, "we're-alive-and-that's-what-matters" kind of thanks.
In this episode, I talk about:
What I learned from a month of saying NO
The day our family evacuated during the LA fires and found core gratitude in a car singalong
Why everything after "we're alive and together" is just gravy
What this first year of the Powermomma Podcast has taught me (including the messy, tech-broken episodes)
Advocacy, autism, and turning our family story into something bigger for the community
How to find real gratitude in a busy, noisy, burnout-prone life
Simple questions to help you build your own "thanks" list going into the holidays
If this episode hits home, share it with a friend who's crawling into December already exhausted.
We've got this: strong NOs, true THANKS, and just enough holiday joy to keep us moving forward.
