The holidays can really speed up your life. Catherine and Brenda invite listeners to treat Thanksgiving as a time for gratitude. They explore gratitude as a perception practice. They bring in the Chinese parable of maybe, maybe not and the mantra if I am not winning, I am learning to show how progress grows through honest reflection.

They examine the fine line between positivity and bypass. They focus on how intent shapes perception and how the right lens supports either momentum or shortfall. They share how releasing perfection creates room for risk. Speaking up before knowing the result or trying improv both strengthen a desire led life. They also share a gratitude exercise, "name what you have today that a past version of you wanted". The courage to begin something new counts toward building capacity.

Catherine and Brenda honor their listeners and talk about love and grief as signs of meaning. They invite everyone to slow down, choose a focus, and acknowledge progress. Bring this to your Thanksgiving table. Ask real questions. Take small risks. Let gratitude sink in.
