The Courage To Be 169: The Thanksgiving Message You Won’t See in Your Inbox
If you’re feeling pressure to “be grateful” this week, this episode offers a different kind of Thanksgiving message — one that looks at gratitude beyond the holiday scripts, the perfect tables, or the forced positivity.
Living in Bali has shifted how I experience gratitude in ways that are quieter, more honest, and sometimes completely unexpected. From small daily rituals to moments that surprised me during a parent talk at Green School, I share what gratitude feels like when life is messy, changing, or nothing like the polished version we’re shown.
If your Thanksgiving looks different this year, or if gratitude feels complicated, this reflection might be exactly what you need. 💫
