Paul says to shine, we need joy… so joy is what we study today. Paul wrote to the Philippians from the grimmest of circumstances - in jail, facing death, brutally beaten, and yet his letter was filled with calls to rejoice. How could that be? Paul seems to have figured out the secret that joy isn't rooted in success or control. It's grounded in something much deeper: that Christ has risen and death itself has been defeated.00:00 — What do I actually know to be true?00:28 — Why science can't tell you what matters most01:16 — Paul's command in Philippians 3:16 explained01:38 — Reflecting honestly: what do I know?02:06 — Truth #1: It is good to be alive03:17 — Why life is a gift worth celebrating05:25 — Gratitude: letting “good to be alive” shape your day06:10 — Truth #2: I ought to pursue the good07:15 — Truth #3: Why despair is always wrong08:34 — Truth #4: I need help (12 steps and prayer)09:26 — Truth #5: People are immensely valuable10:32 — Paul's invitation: live up to what you already knowBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Welcome to Sermon Brainwave! Join hosts Matt Skinner, Karoline Lewis, and Rolf Jacobson as they dive deep into the lectionary readings for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost (October 12th, 2025). In this episode, we explore the powerful theme of unexpected faith through the story of Jesus healing ten men with a skin disease in Luke 17:11-19, where a Samaritan becomes the unlikely exemplar of gratitude and praise. The hosts connect this Gospel reading with the fascinating Old Testament story of Naaman the Syrian from 2 Kings 5, examining how healing and salvation come through unexpected people and surprising means. We also discuss Jeremiah's revolutionary letter to the Babylonian exiles, where the prophet gives the shocking advice to "seek the shalom of the city" - even Babylon - and the endurance theology found in 2 Timothy 2:8-15. Commentaries for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost can be found on the Working Preacher website at https://www.workingpreacher.org/commentaries/revised-common-lectionary/ordinary-28-3/commentary-on-luke-1711-19-6. * * * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

What do you do when the place that once held your memories is suddenly gone? A year ago, I watched floodwaters swallow a familiar corner of Asheville—a neighborhood full of weekend strolls, quiet moments, and memories. In a single day, what felt solid and permanent was swept away. In this deeply personal episode, I'm finally opening up about Hurricane Helene. What our community faced, how the past 12 months have changed me, and what the storm taught me about gratitude, grief, and what it really means to call a place “home.” If you've ever grieved the loss of a season… If you've ever looked at a cluttered room and felt a surprising wave of emotion… If you've ever asked yourself why certain things feel so hard to let go of… This one's for you. Because decluttering is never just about “stuff.” It's about memory. Identity. Story. And sometimes… healing. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why decluttering often stirs up emotion, and why that's completely normal What the storm revealed about the connection between our belongings and our identities The surprising truth about grief and gratitude and why they're not opposites How simplicity can be a choice before it's forced on us The moment in Costco that broke me, and what it helped me understand about being human Why “things” are never just things and how to know what's worth keeping Resources & Mentions: Join Clutter Cure Club Want to create a home that feels light, peaceful, and aligned with what truly matters? Inside CCC, we turn powerful mindset shifts (like today's episode) into small, doable changes that last.
Worship Coordinator Kristin Groene reflects on how God faithfully provides for our needs and how distractions—especially social media—can stir envy and numb our awareness of His goodness. She shares her own shift from chasing status symbols to finding true satisfaction through time with God.
Paul tells the Philippians: “Only let us live up to what we have already attained.” John takes this personally and asks: “What do I actually know to be true?” He names five convictions — life is good, I ought to pursue the good, despair is wrong, I need help, and people are immensely valuable. These aren't abstract doctrines but lived truths that can guide each moment. To shine is to be activated by what you know, not paralyzed by what you don't.00:00 — What do I actually know to be true?00:28 — Why science can't tell you what matters most01:16 — Paul's command in Philippians 3:16 explained01:38 — Reflecting honestly: what do I know?02:06 — Truth #1: It is good to be alive03:17 — Why life is a gift worth celebrating05:25 — Gratitude: letting “good to be alive” shape your day06:10 — Truth #2: I ought to pursue the good07:15 — Truth #3: Why despair is always wrong08:34 — Truth #4: I need help (12 steps and prayer)09:26 — Truth #5: People are immensely valuable10:32 — Paul's invitation: live up to what you already knowBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team
What does it really take to turn grief into purpose, and build a life anchored in giving, creativity, and real human connection For Sarah Akiba, celebrity stylist and founder of the nonprofit “Angel Watching Over Me,” it started with loss. After her father passed away, she built community through support groups, opened safe spaces for girls in public schools, and launched multiple ventures—all rooted in service and soul In this episode of Common Denominator, we unpack how grief became Sarah's superpower, how she balances creativity with entrepreneurship, and why alignment, not aesthetics, is what truly connects people. In this episode, you'll learn:

Gratitude is recognizing that we have not done everything for ourselves, but we depend on others and need to appreciate them for what they do for us.C.S. Lewis Institute Am I expressing genuine gratitude for what I have given? Do I feel I have what I have because I deserve it? Am I entitled to it? Or worse, do I think I did myself? Does my faith feel stagnant because I have not properly, sincerely thanked the Lord for what he has done in my life?Continue reading the rest of this shows notes on our website Nothin' But Fine.Subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can watch this week's episode and catch up on past episodes! ---Check out the Nothin' But Fine blog and website.Follow us on social media: Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube Want everything in your inbox?

Show Notes When grief clouds our view, it's hard to imagine that anything good could ever come from it. In today's episode, I share the story of my friend Ayako — how a connection born from Monica's suffering turned into a 16-year journey of friendship, faith, and miracles. Through Ayako's baptism, God reminded me that healing, trust, and transformation are often slow — but always possible. Key Takeaways: Friendships formed in hard seasons often carry eternal impact. Small acts of kindness can plant seeds of faith even when we can't see it yet. Grief is not the end of the story; it's often the soil where miracles grow. God will not let you walk through grief without leaving His fingerprints of hope. Scriptures to Reflect On: Philippians 1:6 — "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Isaiah 61:3 — "…to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." **Closing Thought: Don't diminish the grief you feel — but never underestimate what the Lord can do through it.

We look into the often-overlooked “disease” of taking things for granted. Reflecting on personal stories of loss, transformation, and the unexpected challenges life throws our way, we explore how gratitude, mindfulness, and intentional self-reflection can help us appreciate the present moment—and the people and privileges we too often overlook.Eric shares how a family crisis upended his long-standing habit of “performing” through life, forcing him to confront his limitations and embrace vulnerability. Jeff opens up about his journey through anxiety and panic attacks, and how he learned not to take life's freedoms for granted.Together, we discuss the value of intentional gratitude, the importance of self-empathy, and offer practical advice on recognizing and appreciating what we have before it's gone.

It's not about waiting for a wake-up call, but about making gratitude a daily habit.Loss and Change Fuel Growth: Whether it's health, relationships, or even our sense of freedom, losing something we once overlooked can lead to powerful learning and personal development—if we're willing to adapt and put in the effort.Curiosity and Self-Compassion Matter: Asking honest questions about what you might be taking for granted (without judgment or self-criticism) is crucial. It's this habit of gentle inventory that paves the way for more authentic connection, empathy, and fulfillment.Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful WorldRay Charles - America The BeautifulIn each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

Tune in to episode 228 of Joy Found Here, where wellness coach Shabana Knight shares her extraordinary journey from an Indian orphanage to a life built on gratitude, health, and self-discovery. Adopted and raised in the U.S., Shabana returned decades later to the orphanage where her story began, an experience that deepened her sense of identity and sparked a greater appreciation for the life she has built with her family.That same openness has guided her career. What began with encouraging a coworker to lose baby weight revealed her natural gift for motivation, which grew into personal training, wellness coaching, and a holistic practice blending fitness, hormone balance, homeopathic remedies, and decluttering. Her approach emphasizes that true wellness goes beyond the body—it's about aligning mind, body, and environment so you can thrive from a place of overflow rather than depletion.In this episode, Shabana reflects on how gratitude, community, and intentional self-care can transform not just health but entire lives. From her human design discoveries to embracing both a given and chosen birthday, she shows why putting yourself first isn't selfish but essential. Her message is clear: wellness isn't perfection—it's alignment, abundance, and the daily choice to live with intention.In This Episode, You Will Learn:How Shabana's life began in an Indian orphanage before adoption in the U.S. (2:54)Her return to India and the powerful experience of visiting her orphanage (4:18)The gratitude shifts she brought home after reconnecting with her roots (7:19)How helping a coworker lose baby weight launched her into fitness coaching (8:29)Why personal training and decluttering “found her” as part of her wellness path (10:30)The role of intuition and how she makes things happen—from drops to coaching (13:30)Living from overflow instead of depletion and why it changes everything (16:39)The surprising story of choosing a second birthday through human design (17:55)How homeopathic drops transformed her hormones, sleep, and mood (24:37)Simple daily rituals that keep her grounded, grateful, and able to give (27:29)Connect with Shabana Knight:FacebookInstagramPodcast: Organized Chaos; Stories with ShabanaLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

From celebratory nights on tour to star-studded encounters at Oasis gigs, Jed takes us inside life on the road and, more intriguingly, into what comes next for The Struts. With the 10-year chapter closing, the conversation teases fresh music, new creative rituals, and a call for fans to help shape how the band stays connected during this so-called “creative retreat.” It's intimate, it's electric, and it hints at the future without ever giving too much away. If you want to be among the first to glimpse what The Struts are building for the next decade, this episode is the one you don't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, I shared why the real key to success isn't complicated strategies—it's the simple things we too often overlook. Gratitude, consistent follow-up, caring for our health, and staying committed when progress feels invisible are the habits that create lasting results. The challenge is that what's simple to do is also simple not to do. But if you stay consistent with these small practices, you'll see extraordinary change over time. Success isn't about doing more—it's about doing the simple things, every day, even when most people quit.
In this conversation, you'll hear how a family navigated love, parenting, and special needs with resilience and courage. You'll also learn how being built different is exactly what makes life meaningful.

Ambivalence isn't confusion or weakness, it's your nervous system doing its job. Feeling both joy and grief, relief and loss, fear and excitement, is not dysfunction but survival wisdom. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace unpack ambivalence as a neurobiological phenomenon: how the brain and body construct emotions, why conflicting truths arise during transformation, and how to metabolize them without collapse. You'll learn to notice the tug-of-war between emotions, expand capacity to sit with duality, and reframe ambivalence as part of post-traumatic growth. By honoring both sides, joy and sorrow, fear and courage, you can create deeper connection with yourself and move through change with clarity and trust.

The Three Phases of Sobriety: From Foundation to Lasting Change Sobriety isn't just about putting down the drink—it's about building a life that supports staying sober. In this episode of Sobriety Reset, I broke down the three phases of getting sober: building a foundation, uncovering and discarding old patterns, and creating lasting change. Phase 1: Building a Foundation The first step in sobriety is setting yourself up for success. This begins with looking at your family history and early survival strategies, which often don't serve us well in adulthood. From there, it's about learning new skills: Setting boundaries: Learning what you can and can't tolerate, and teaching others how to treat you. Clarifying your values and goals: Aligning your daily actions with what you truly care about. Preparing your environment: Removing alcohol, stocking healthy snacks (especially protein for willpower), and setting up positive supports like books, podcasts, and tools. Building a sober toolkit: This can include journaling, meditation (even just 12 breaths), supportive community, and strategies for managing emotions. Identifying triggers: Noticing what sparks the urge to drink and creating plans for how to respond. Phase 2: Uncover, Discover, Discard This phase is about doing deeper inner work to clean house. Using journaling, inventories, or therapeutic methods, you uncover resentments, discover the root causes, and discard what's no longer serving you. Make a list of resentments and the specific causes. Notice the patterns—especially how coping strategies like people-pleasing or anxious attachment may actually recreate the very situations you fear. Clarify what's truly your responsibility and what isn't. Get support from a sponsor, coach, or therapist for deeper trauma-related work. Phase 3: Creating Lasting Change Long-term sobriety rests on consistent self-care and connection. It's about turning healthy practices into lifestyle habits. Morning practice: Gratitude lists, journaling, meditation, and movement. Physical self-care: Hydration, regular exercise (start small if needed), nourishing foods. Spiritual practice: Whether it's prayer, meditation, or simply connecting with energy and love, find what sustains your spirit. Community: Surround yourself with sober people. Science shows we adopt the behaviors and beliefs of those closest to us. Sobriety lasts when you layer tools, heal root causes, and stay connected. These three phases give you a roadmap not just to get sober—but to make sobriety stick. Action Items Journal about your family history and early survival strategies. Write down your top 5 values and compare them to how you actually spend your time. Prepare your environment: remove alcohol, stock healthy snacks, and add sober resources. Start a sober toolkit: include journaling, meditation (try 12 breaths), supportive podcasts, and people you can call. Identify your triggers by looking back at your last few drinking episodes. Make a plan for how to respond. Make a resentment list: name the person, the cause, and how it affected you. Get clarity on what's your responsibility and what isn't. Seek professional support for trauma-related issues. Begin a daily gratitude list (5–12 items). Commit to consistent self-care: exercise, hydration, meditation, and journaling. Join or re-engage with a sober community, online or in person.
In this closing episode of the Ten Commandments series, Rabbi Josh Feigelson explores the final commandment: Do not covet.

Today, Kathryn continued our Invested series with a message called “Thankful.” From Hebrews 12 and 1 Thessalonians 5, we're reminded to give thanks in all circumstances, and to let gratitude shape our language and our life together as community. Thanksgiving banishes complaint, unites us as family, and positions us for God's salvation to break in. Psalm 50:23 declares that offering thanks honors God and prepares the way for Him to reveal His salvation. Gratitude isn't just a response—it's a step of faith that makes room for the kingdom that cannot be shaken. Take your next step today, and join us as we learn what it means to live fully invested—in community, as community, with thankful hearts.
Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell shares how individuals with neurodivergent abilities, particularly non-verbal autistic children, are offering us a glimpse into an expanded reality—one that transcends our traditional understanding of consciousness. She emphasizes that their extraordinary abilities, like telepathy and psychic awareness, show us how connected we truly are beyond the physical senses.As Diane shares, "They're here to help evolve humanity." This is a powerful reminder that we are not alone on this journey of awakening and growth — we are all interconnected and evolving together.
On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik digs into a direct, practical conversation with Shannon Curtis—founder of Angel Goddess Healing and author of “No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark.” Shannon unpacks how trauma shows up in the body, why sobriety and boundaries keep spiritual work grounded, and how a daily gratitude practice can shift your nervous system without bypassing pain. Expect clear, actionable steps: listen to the body, integrate the soul, and let gratitude train your mind. This is a straight-talk guide to moving from hurt to healing—without fluff. About the guest : Shannon Curtis is a coach and founder of Angel Goddess Healing. Her work blends body awareness, trauma-informed processing, and grounded spiritual practices. She's the author of “No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark” and supports clients with preparation and integration for spiritual experiences alongside everyday habits that actually stick. Key takeaways: The body keeps score: recurring pain, cycles, and fatigue can be early signals to pause, listen, and respond with care—not shame. Healing is integrated work: mind tools (reflection), body tools (sleep, movement, sobriety), and soul tools (meaning, service) must align. Gratitude is training, not a mood: three specific gratitudes daily rewire attention toward what's working without denying hard emotions. Forgiveness is self-liberation: it's about releasing stored anger and reclaiming power—not excusing harm. Grounding prevents bypass: meditation, nutrition, alcohol-free living, and nightly review keep “love and light” tethered to real life. Boundaries are love in action: compassion and clear limits can co-exist; say no to protect healing. Integration matters: after any peak spiritual insight, convert it into small daily practices or it fades. Meaning reframes pain: asking “What is this teaching me?” helps transform experiences into service for others. Curiosity over judgment: with yourself and others, curiosity opens options where judgment shuts them down. Start small today: one minute of breath, one line of gratitude, one honest boundary. Consistency beats intensity.

Serving God is not a burden—it is a privilege. Psalm 100:2 reminds us to “Serve the Lord with gladness, come before his presence with singing.” In a world that encourages us to serve ourselves first, this passage calls us back to the joy of putting God above all. Keneesha Saunders-Liddie invites us to rediscover the beauty of living a life fully surrendered to God—whether through worship, our work, our relationships, or even the simplest acts of daily living. True service is not drudgery but gratitude in action, born from recognizing God’s endless blessings and faithful provision. Main Takeaways Serving God is a privilege, not an obligation. Every aspect of our lives can become an act of worship and service. Gratitude transforms service from a duty into joy. God is worthy of our glad-hearted praise in all circumstances. Bible Verse References Psalm 100:2 – Serve the Lord with gladness. 1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Colossians 3:23 – Work at everything as if working for the Lord. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for biblical encouragement each morning.

Send us a textGratitude isn't just for Thanksgiving—it's a secret weapon used by elite performers across every field. Ever wondered why top achievers seem to maintain their momentum even when facing obstacles? The answer might be simpler than you think. Gratitude fundamentally shapes our attitude, transforming how we process challenges and opportunities. When we approach life with thankfulness, we don't magically escape difficulties, but we develop the resilience to handle them with grace and perspective.This five-minute power session unpacks three practical strategies to harness gratitude for peak performance. First, practice intentional gratitude rather than waiting for wake-up calls like near-accidents to appreciate what you have. Second, fully embody grateful experiences by visualizing positive moments and physically feeling that thankfulness in your body—this opens doorways to greater confidence and self-assurance. Finally, share your gratitude with others, creating a multiplier effect that validates you're on the right path.The science is clear: gratitude rewires our neural pathways, creating positive feedback loops that enhance creativity, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. By making thankfulness a daily practice rather than an occasional response, you're establishing the foundation for sustained high performance in every area of life. Your mindset determines your outcomes, and gratitude is the most accessible tool for cultivating an unshakeable positive outlook.

Vivian's Sales Success Journey From Brazil to Miami, Vivian's story is nothing short of transformational. After facing the collapse of a business investment and a divorce, she pivoted into sales—and within six months, she was earning $150,000. In less than a year, her team was generating over $1 million a month. Today, she leads multiple organizations valued at over $100 million and teaches influence and sales mastery through her program, Influence OS. I was inspired by her resilience and entrepreneurial spirit, especially in how she turned challenges into a system that redefines how sales is done. Breaking Through Personal Sales Ceilings Vivian shared that becoming an elite salesperson wasn't about working harder—it was about shifting psychology, mindset, rituals, and identity. Along her journey, she built over 20 companies designed to support her broader ecosystem. Central to her approach is her CROWN Framework: Clarity, Relationships, Ownership, Wealth, and Neuroscience. It's a roadmap for breaking personal ceilings and training ourselves to embrace growth. Sales Influence and Organizational Clarity We discussed the idea that everyone is in sales, whether in business or in life. Vivian highlighted the difference between selling with presence versus selling with pressure. I connected with her point on clarity—how it's essential for growth and adaptability in any organization. I also emphasized that discipline, more than motivation, drives long-term success, something Vivian models so well. Authentic Sales Intuition Vivian explained how listening to her intuition transformed the way she evaluates opportunities. Early in her high-ticket sales career, she was taught manipulative tactics, but she chose to trust her instincts instead. By aligning her approach with authenticity and values, she built a more ethical—and more successful—path in the sales world. Mastering Influence and Adaptation Influence, as Vivian described, is a superpower. By reading body language and physiology, she can assess opportunities and people in seconds. I also admired her journey of learning English and adapting to a new culture—proving that resilience and curiosity are just as vital as business strategy. Gratitude and Life Direction What stood out most to me was Vivian's commitment to gratitude and perspective. From climbing 14 flights of stairs daily to practicing meditation and journaling each morning, she grounds her success in conscious choices. She shared that material wealth didn't bring the happiness she expected, but gratitude and clarity about life direction did. Final Takeaway Our conversation was as energizing as it was insightful. Vivian's story is a testament to grit, resilience, and the power of influence done right. You can learn more about her work at vivianWeyll.com
Episode SummaryIn this special episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with Swapnil Shinde, a three-time entrepreneur and the co-founder and CEO of Zeni, the AI-powered finance platform transforming how startups manage their financial operations.Swapnil's journey is a story of resilience, risk-taking, and relentless alignment with purpose. He shares how his very first startup—an early Bollywood music streaming service—nearly broke him as he faced late-night calls from music label executives, endless licensing negotiations, and the weight of operating in an industry he barely understood. Instead of giving up, those painful years became his greatest teacher, showing him how to manage stress, build courage, and navigate uncertainty. That experience laid the foundation for his second company, Mezi, an AI travel assistant acquired by American Express, and now his third, Zeni, which is reshaping the future of startup finance.But what makes Swapnil stand out is not just his entrepreneurial track record. It's his deep conviction that true success begins on the inside. He describes gratitude as “strength training for your heart” and insists that life must feel good internally before it can ever look good externally. Meditation, mindfulness, and intentional daily rituals are cornerstones of his leadership. He blocks time every morning to ground himself—through Ayurvedic practices, breathwork, and meditation—before leading his team and scaling a company in hypergrowth.Throughout the conversation, Chris and Swapnil explore how slowing down can actually accelerate growth, why trusting your team and delegating is essential for visionary leadership, and how to separate vanity metrics from what really matters in building sustainable businesses. They also reflect on the dangers of “I'll be happy when…” thinking, and the freedom that comes when you align with your life's mission in the present moment.In a deeply moving section of the episode, Swapnil pays tribute to his late mother, Chaya, an artist who taught him and his twin brother to paint from the age of three.

Speaking in front of one of her paintings during the interview, Swapnil shares how her influence continues to shape his life and leadership.This episode is a powerful reminder that behind every startup success story is a human being navigating hard times, rewiring through gratitude, and finding strength in stillness.

Ten years into Food Heals, Allison Melody broadens the lens: from food as medicine to the health of our culture. In this deeply personal episode, Allison processes the news of a public assasination, her visceral grief as a daughter who lost her father, and the chilling implications for public figures, creators, podcasters, and anyone who speaks publicly. She traces how social media outrage, algorithmic incentives, and political extremism erode empathy and makes the case that love (not hate, not fear) is the only path to individual and collective healing. Along the way, she shares her family's story, why she started Food Heals, and how to protect your “information diet” the same way you protect your plate. Theme: Hate does not heal hate. Only love heals. Content note This episode contains discussion of murder, political violence, cancer, grief, social-media harassment, and deplatforming. In this episode you'll hear Why “the health of our nation depends on more than food” and what that means for free speech Allison's visceral reaction to the news and how it connects to losing both parents to cancer The attention economy: how algorithms reward outrage and dehumanization A practical “information diet” for your mind and nervous system Powerful messages from fellow creators about responding with active love (not more anger) A simple framework to shift your state: breath, music, gratitude, service A rallying call for creators: “A microphone is not a shield…the First Amendment does not make us bulletproof—but it should make us brave.” Key takeaways Your voice matters, even when it is inconvenient. Free speech is not about agreement, it is about human dignity and the right to speak without violence. Protect your mind like your body. Curate your inputs, fast from outrage, and refuse dehumanizing content, no matter the target. Gratitude is medicine. A daily “what's good?” practice shifts your state and ripples outward. Love is an action. Compassion, curiosity, and disciplined, justice-honoring love are stronger than hate.
