Description

Most people talk about gratitude like it’s a simple list: family, health, success. But real gratitude, the kind that transforms you, is earned through adversity. Through the hard seasons. Through the moments you weren’t sure you’d make it to the other side.

In this episode, I open up about the experiences that shaped my own gratitude: coming to Florida in 2007 with no job and three little kids, building a life from nothing, walking through health crises, and learning what it really means to stay grounded, stay focused, and keep going.

These aren’t clichés. These are lived moments that changed my DNA. And today, I want to share what those moments taught me, and how you can find powerful gratitude inside your own challenges.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why gratitude built through adversity lasts the longest

- How fear changes once you’ve walked through the unknown

- The real story of rebuilding your life in a new place

- What health scares can teach you about purpose and perspective

- Why growing apart from certain people is part of evolving

- How to find your “why” when everything feels uncertain

- The mindset shift that turns struggle into strength
