Appreciation

You wrote down three things you’re grateful for. But did you actually feel anything?

In this episode, we explore appreciation as a choice, why a gratitude practice can turn into another chore, and what changes when you let it touch your heart. Along the way: differing tastes in bacon, the desire hiding inside “I have to,” and a brief pause to practice being “amorphously grateful” together.

We also explore making room for grief, shame, and resistance—and finding something to appreciate even there. Plus, a reminder: your goodness isn’t something you have to earn.
