Gratitude is easy when life is flowing.
But what about when it's not?
When your kid is melting down (again).
When your co-parent drops the ball (again).
When your nervous system is fried, your coffee is cold, and you're questioning everything?

In this honest episode, Angie peels back the curtain on what it really looks like to find gratitude when things feel hard—without bypassing the mess, sugar-coating the struggle, or pretending everything is fine when it's not.

You'll learn how true gratitude isn't about ignoring pain—it's about holding it with perspective. And how using your Human Design authority (especially emotional authority!) can guide you back to center when your brain just wants to spiral.

This is an episode about:

• Why gratitude isn't toxic positivity (and how to spot the difference)

• How to find something real to be thankful for—even in the hard moments

• A personal story of finding gratitude in the midst of behavior struggles

• How Human Design authority can guide your emotional clarity and help you shift from reaction to presence

• What happens when we pause long enough to choose how we see things

Whether you're in a tough season or just had a tough morning, this episode will help you reframe, reconnect, and maybe even breathe a little deeper.
