I recently received an email from Shameless Mom Rachel that brought me to tears.\xa0She talked about her experience with Postpartum Depression and suicidal ideation and how The Shameless Mom Academy has been part of her healing.\xa0Her words of gratitude were humbling, to say the least.\xa0\n\xa0\nRachel\u2019s email inspired me to create this episode on gratitude.\xa0I am so grateful Rachel shared her story.\xa0Her story will help Shameless Moms, for sure.\xa0Our stories connect us to each other and inspire us to reach out of our comfort zones.\xa0Our stories are essential for learning and healing and growing.\xa0This is why I share so many of my stories.\xa0\n\xa0\nIn addition to my gratitude for Rachel\u2019s story, I want to share 10 ways gratitude can improve your life.\xa0If you think gratitude is a little too \u201cwoowoo\u201d for you, this list is for you!\xa0\n\xa0\nLast, but not least, I want to share my friend Scott Colby\u2019s upcoming event, The Ultimate Gratitude Challenge.\xa0Scott will be sharing interviews with 35 of his colleagues (myself included) over the course of 35 days.\xa0Scott\u2019s interviews are all about how gratitude helped people out of addiction, loss and grief to improve self worth, relationships and overall quality of life.\xa0Scott has a fabulous line up of interviewees.\xa0This entire summit is online and free.\xa0\n\xa0\nLinks Mentioned:\nArticle: The 31 Benefits of Gratitude You Didn\u2019t Know About: How Gratitude Can Change Your Life\xa0\nScott Colby\u2019s Ultimate Gratitude Challenge\nShameless Mom Interview with Jen Briggs\n\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
