Recalibrate 59. from pain to power: how to rediscover your life through gratitude with John Lifrieri
In this episode of the Recalibrate podcast, I have a meaningful conversation with our guest, John Lifrieri, a.k.a. 'the king of gratitude.' John shares his personal journey towards embracing gratitude, particularly drawing from an undiagnosed spinal cord injury that drastically altered his life. Both John and I highlight the profound impact of daily gratitude practices on our lives, discussing tangible tips to cultivate your own gratitude practice, and hinting at an upcoming collaborative project we created to help you experience more gratitude in your every day life. We also emphasize the importance of being present, appreciating ordinary moments, and the relationships that support us in our gratitude journey.
Happy thanksgiving you lovely humans - I am SO incredibly grateful for each and every single one of you xx
