It's Thanksgiving week, which means there's a good chance you're thinking about everything else besides giving OR thanks. Stressing about the army of guests swarming your house, or aggravated by horrendous holiday shopping and travel. Let's be real, it can be a glass-half empty kind of week (or make that a glass completely empty, thanks to your crazy cousin's political rants across the table). Well, in this episode I want to get us back to a glass runneth over mentality, so I'm sharing a short gratitude meditation that will help you press reset and get grounded in all that's good in the world.  And here's the beautiful thing about gratitude — it's like a muscle we can strengthen, even (or especially) when life feels turbulent.  Think of it as your internal holiday survival kit. And guess what? Not only is gratitude contagious, the more you practice it, the more you have to be grateful for. That's right, your abundance multiplies. This practice will help you move beyond surface-level thankfulness into deeper appreciation — the kind that can transform our entire experience of these holidays or any season.

We could all use a spiritual reboot these days. But how do we reconnect with the divine in our everyday lives when we're out of practice? In this episode I'm joined by the bestselling author, poet, and mystic Rebecca Campbell to demystify the mystical. The good news: there's no "right" way and everyone's journey is unique. Rebecca explains how to navigate the stages of the spiritual journey, from the ascent to the descent, and also breaks down the distinction between spirit and soul.

Whether you're newly touched by spirituality or deep into your journey, this episode offers both comfort and guidance for staying true to your divine heart while navigating life's complexities.
