361 - Take 2 Minutes: Boost Your Joy with Daily Gratitude Practices Backed by Science with Marc Fussell


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt guilty for struggling because “you should be grateful,” this one’s for you.

Because real mental wellness isn’t about pretending everything’s fine.

It’s about having science-backed tools that help you navigate the real stuff—burnout, anxiety, parenting stress, and all the emotions in between.

In this episode, I’m joined by Marc Fussell, founder of Take 2 Minutes—a nonprofit using tech and positive psychology to make nervous system regulation doable (and actually effective).

We’re diving into:
 ✔️ What positive psychology actually is (and how it helps rewire your brain for joy)
✔️ Why your gratitude practice might not be working (and how to fix it in 2 weeks)
✔️ A simple grounding tool to help calm your nervous system in real time
✔️ How to model emotional regulation for your kids—even on the messy 

Marc’s approach is science-backed, simple, and surprisingly doable—even in a busy season.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to be grateful but it’s not landing—or like you’ve lost touch with joy—you’re going to love this one. It’s hopeful, honest, and full of tangible takeaways.

🎧 Press play and get the tools to feel more grounded, grateful, and present—starting now.
