Mic'd and Medicated: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpertGratitude Is Hard… But Here’s Why We Try AnywayThis week, Caroline and Eva try to practice gratitude… and break down how appreciating everyday moments can actually improve your mental and physical health, strengthen your relationships, and even make the chaos of life feel a little lighter.
