When life feels heavy—weather, work, family stress, and that long January hangover—gratitude can feel like the first thing to disappear… and the exact thing that brings you back to yourself.
In this solo episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn guides you through a grounded reset and a practical approach to gratitude that doesn’t require pretending everything is fine. You’ll explore why the brain naturally clings to what’s wrong (and how gratitude helps re-train your focus), plus simple prompts you can use when you’re stuck in spiraling thoughts, frustration, or overwhelm. Autumn shares personal reflections—from marriage and fertility challenges to healing after a car accident—and shows how hard seasons can become meaning-making seasons when you’re ready to look at them differently.
You’ll also get easy ways to weave gratitude into real life: a quick “in the moment” gratitude check-in, journaling in short lines (not long diary entries), and a gentle reframe for when you’re sick, stressed, or disappointed. And if you’re ready to level up, Autumn offers a mirror practice that can feel awkward at first—but can be deeply regulating and healing over time: naming what you appreciate about yourself, then meeting your own eyes and saying, “I love you.”
Try the gratitude practice for one week—and notice what shifts.
