Staying Grateful Through Grief

Staying Grateful Through Grief

Author: Tracey Benson December 8, 2020 Duration: 16:58

Today’s episode is a bit of a heavy one. 


I recently lost two friends of mine within the personal development circle and have taken some time to collect my thoughts on all of it. Reflection has been rampant in mourning and the one thing that’s been pressing on my mind lately is how grateful I am for the people around me.


On the show today, I want to share why I’m so passionate about practicing gratitude, particularly through adversity, why learning to live in the moment is beneficial for us in the long run, as well as some ways to ensure we never live with regrets.
