Gratitude Blooming Podcast

Send us a textIt’s easy to think about what limits us. Fear and uncertainty are familiar. That’s the biological bias of the human brain. The challenge is to stretch the limits of what we imagine is even possible. We take inspiration from Gratitude Blooming card #27 Delphinium - Infinite Possibility.  Our relationship to the unknown shapes how much fear or hope we hold. Unconditional love can release the strings which hold us back. Join us as we uncover greater possibilities with surrender, not control.  Hear our inspirations for the creation of Gratitude Blooming and from our Gratitude Circles as we trust into our next footsteps.  Find more at gratitudeblooming.com/podcast and share your stories with us.--- Create an intentional practice with your own Gratitude Blooming card deck, notecards, candle and much much more at our shop at www.gratitudeblooming.com.

Send us a textWhere does trust come from? It comes from within us. It’s begotten, not made. To trust requires a radical shift in perspective. Trust embraces wildness. Vulnerability and gratitude pollinate trust both within ourselves and with others. Welcoming uncertainty, not control, is what makes trust unique. In this episode, we talk about three kinds of trust - naive, blind and authentic. To embody trust is to walk the walk. To talk the talk. To feel the feels. Hear stories from our Gratitude Circles to grow your trust. Find more at gratitudeblooming.com/podcast and share your stories with us. --- Create an intentional practice with your own Gratitude Blooming card deck, notecards, candle and much much more at our shop at www.gratitudeblooming.com.

Send us a textHeartbreak is real. In this episode, we hear from frontline healthcare workers, learn about the Japanese broken pottery practice of Kintsugi, and stories which show that healing is a process, not a destination. Neuroscience research shows a strong link between our minds and hearts. When we focus on the heart, we create greater coherence. Coherence transforms you and the world around you. In music and in nature, we find that coherence or wholeness creates resonance. Resonance is how healing our hearts begins to heal the world. Please follow, like or review our podcast.
