When Gratitude Feels Hard
Dec 03, 2025This week’s episode of the Maybe I Can Podcast is a heartfelt one. Thanksgiving has always been a complicated season for me since losing my husband, and this year I found myself reflecting deeply on what gratitude really means—especially when life feels heavy.
In this episode, I share:
• The Thanksgiving memories I still hold close
• Why I resisted gratitude practices (for YEARS)
• The moment it all finally “clicked”
• How noticing one bright blue sky shifted everything
• Why grief and gratitude can absolutely coexist
If this holiday season feels tender for you, I hope this episode brings comfort and a little light. And if it’s a joyful season, I’m grateful you’re here to share that too.
