You know those moments in life when you just hit a wall with your current situation? Where you look around, and even though you’ve followed the recipe for success, and the recipe came out as described, you’re still having a hard time feeling great about it? For a lot of successful people I talk to, that chain of events seems to be a trend, and it’s certainly true for today’s guest.
Amanda Rose is the founder of Gratitude Incarnate. Around four years ago, she was living a comfortable life that on the outside appeared to check all the boxes of success, while on the inside, she struggled with a feeling that her life lacked purpose, and that led to a stretch of depression. While searching for a way out of her depression and into a more fulfilling way of life, she was introduced to the practice of gratitude.
Now, if you’re thinking, “gratitude, heard that one before, tried it, it didn’t work for me.” Well, that’s one thing you and I have in common. But after talking with Amanda about her Joyful rebellion against depression,and how her gratitude practice played a major role, I have a few new tools to add to my belt, and I bet you will too, so let’s jump right in.
