It's Thanksgiving and the number one question you better have an answer prepped for at the dinner table is "what are you grateful for?" Forget the usual clichés, let's challenge ourselves to dig a little bit deeper. It can be hard when you are in a mental health dip to really express gratitude beyond the obvious... of course I'm grateful for my family and my house. But what about your family, what about your house are you grateful for? Join Stef for a discussion on how getting specific with our gratitude can help ground us in the moment and improve our overall outlook. Whether it's a cozy hoodie or a favorite mug, let's celebrate the little things that inspire a grateful attitude.
