Before the rush of Thanksgiving week (or during, or after), take a few minutes to really know thanks-giving in a new way.

In this podcast, the wonderful Allison Byxbe asked me all the right questions to unpack this powerful practice I have studied and done for years. I am here to tell you that real thanks-giving makes good times better and brutal times bearable. Studies back me up on this.

Give a listen to really get in the mood for Thanksgiving and to live more fully beyond. And share this with friends and family so they'll get the benefits, too. The podcast starts with an intro and then this powerful exercise.

Also, check out Allison's free Saturday Pages and her Inky Collective. I was never into journaling until I experienced her workshop at a retreat. Y'all, her approach puts heart on paper and opens you in new ways. You'll find her on social media at @allisonbyxbe.
