It's a special thanksgiving mini-episode! Marcus and Nora sit down to talk about sustaining gratitude, forgiveness, and connection through hard times. Marcus reads a heartfelt tribute to his brother D'Marcus, who died unexpectedly in the fall of 2022. It's a powerful reminder of why showing people we love them and expressing our gratitude for them is necessary, especially in times of turmoil. In a season when family gatherings can test the patience of even the most even-tempered among us, it's the reminder we all need to lean into love. And, of course, Nora and Marcus close out the episode with an extra-large serving of 8 ounces of joy.
