When Gratitude Isn’t Easy: Finding Steady Ground in Hard Seasons

The holidays can magnify everything—joy, pressure, grief. In this honest episode, we explore gratitude not as a fluffy fix, but as a grounding force that works even in hospital hallways, parking lots, or strained family dinners.

We start by unpacking a powerful truth: gratitude is not happiness. It’s presence, not pretending.

Through raw storytelling and practical tools, Lynn reveals how she moved through months of personal upheaval—loss, diagnosis, career shakeups—and still found moments of clarity, grace, and even healing.

Key takeaways you can use right away:

• Why gratitude isn’t denial—it’s courageous awareness
• The difference between happiness and steady presence
• How language changes biology—your words shape your energy
• Simple reframes to turn “I can’t” into “What can I do?”
• What to say and do when life feels too much
• Gratitude practices for mornings, tough moments, and bedtime
• Surprising shifts from traffic to therapy to relationships
• How to build resilience through presence, not pressure
