Description

In this Thanksgiving episode, 211, Ellie unpacks one of the most underestimated healing tools we have — gratitude. Not the cliché version, but the version backed by neuroscience, physiology, and Scripture.

You’ll hear how gratitude literally rewires the brain, lowers cortisol, stabilizes the nervous system, and creates the internal safety your body needs to heal. Ellie breaks down what research tells us about gratitude’s impact on inflammation, emotional resilience, hormones, and metabolism — and why it works even faster than most people realize.
But she doesn’t stop at the science.

Ellie brings her signature faith lens as she explores why gratitude is often hardest in the seasons we need it most — and how practicing thanksgiving becomes an act of spiritual warfare, grounding, and trust when life feels overwhelming.
If you’re craving a reset, a breath, or a reminder of what God is doing in the middle of your busy, beautiful, messy life… this episode will meet you right where you are.
Science. Scripture. Nervous system regulation. And a reminder that gratitude isn’t a feeling — it’s a healing.

Perfect for your Thanksgiving morning walk, a quiet moment before family arrives, or a reset after a full, loud, wonderful day.
