In this episode of the Rise and Rebuild Podcast, I’m reflecting on the power of gratitude, especially during the Thanksgiving season. This conversation is deeply personal. I share parts of my own journey through hardship, healing, and the unexpected ways gratitude found me along the way.

We talk about what I call “gratitude in hindsight”, those moments where you only recognize the blessing after the pain has passed. I also invite you to consider a different kind of gratitude: thanking God not just for what you have now, but for what you’re still waiting on. This episode is about faith, trust, and learning how to honor the process even when it doesn’t make sense yet.

If you’ve ever struggled to feel grateful in the middle of uncertainty… this one is for you.
