This week Kristine Carlson shares her personal journey with gratitude, joy, and happiness. 

You’ll learn how she navigates her own moments of grief and low mood by staying engaged in the present, noticing simple joys like sunlight streaming through trees or a beloved pet playing freely. She beautifully explains the difference between happiness and joy; happiness as a gentle hum you live from, and joy as the sparkling moments that elevate your spirit.

Throughout the episode, you’re invited to remember how gratitude can bring you back to your natural good feeling state, and how your thoughts and feelings are intricately connected through your heart and mind. Kristine invites you to practice noticing and shifting your mindset into gratitude, allowing positive feelings to return.
