Most of us were taught a version of gratitude that does more harm than good. Count your blessings. Focus on the good. Push down what is hard and replace it with appreciation. And when the hard feelings do not go away, feel guilty for being ungrateful on top of everything else.

In this episode we sit with what shukr actually means in Islam. Not the performance of okayness. Something far more honest and far more powerful than that.

If gratitude has ever felt like something you are supposed to feel but cannot quite access, this one is for you.

Find a quiet moment and press play.
