Ever feel like you’re being “thankful-ed” into silence? Becky McNattin and Tara Martini get real about the dark side of “weaponized gratitude” and how it’s often used to brush over our genuine pain and frustration. They break down common scenarios—from the “at-least” workplace to the “shoulding” parent—to help us recognize when gratitude is actually being used as an emotional shield to avoid conflict or discomfort. It’s a refreshing conversation about the importance of validating your struggles first so that when you finally do find gratitude, it’s authentic rather than forced.
