Sometimes gratitude doesn’t look like sunshine and sparkles. Sometimes it looks like realizing the things that used to wreck you… kind of don’t anymore.

Today’s episode is about perspective. It’s about catching yourself in those moments where you’re annoyed, frustrated, or inconvenienced, and remembering there was a time you couldn’t have handled what now feels like a minor blip.

From a broken smartwatch that barely made me blink, to the grocery store checkout line where I complain about prices but can actually pay for the groceries, this is about the quiet shift of realizing you’ve moved forward without even noticing.

This isn’t about pretending life isn’t hard. Because it still is in different ways. We all know that STUFF still happens all the time. Instead, today’s episode is just a reminder that in many ways, our “hard” used to look a lot different, and you know what? That’s something worth being grateful for.
