Description

Gratitude isn’t just a warm feeling — it’s a brain-changing habit that boosts mood, memory, connection, and emotional resilience.


In this feel-good episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois explore why gratitude works, how it rewires your chemistry, and why small moments — like two sandwiches on a park bench — can stay with you for decades.


With stories, science, and a serotonin fact-check from ChatGPT, they break down:

  • How gratitude changes your brain (hello, serotonin)
  • Why we often forget to show appreciation
  • Why simple memories stick — even 40 years later
  • How to train your “attitude of gratitude” like a muscle
  • Why gratitude is a leadership skill, not a soft emotion
  • How intentionally noticing small joys can shift your day, your team…and your life


If you’ve been moving too fast, feeling the pressure, or just need a reminder that small thanks have big impact, this episode is your reset button.


Gratitude isn’t an emotion — it’s a practice. And it starts now.
