Why is gratitude so trendy right now? Does journaling about gratitude actually work? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, we’re switching things up! As Yedda moves into chapter 9, focusing on gratitude, her friend and community member, Amanda Eaddy McKeithan, interviews Yedda on the power of sharing your true self and your story with the world and advocating for women empowerment. Then, Amanda talks to Yedda about her relationship with gratitude and leveraging the power of words to create good in the world, along with some incredible insights on how cultivating gratitude can help you blossom and reach success. 

“Having this sense of gratitude is major…I believe that our words can either heal or they can kill.” - Amanda

Gratitude doesn’t mean you’re always grateful for the good stuff. Sometimes, it allows you to sit in suffering, move through it, and as Amanda says, heal. 

 “Gratitude, if you know it or not, has really been under the current the whole time because all of existence is cheering for you, loving you, supporting you, is grateful that you are here… You matter simply because you exist.” - Yedda
