In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Erin unpacks the hidden relationship between resentment, worthiness, emotional capacity, and gratitude. You’ll learn why hustling for validation keeps leaders stuck, why gratitude is NOT soft — it’s strategic — and how "stacking the evidence" can rewire your identity, rebuild your confidence, and protect you from burnout.

If you've ever struggled to feel proud of what you’ve accomplished… or if you've been waiting for someone else to notice your work… this episode will shift something inside you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why gratitude is the antidote to resentment
• How leaders numb themselves without realizing it
• Why “hustling for worthiness” keeps you stuck
• The neuroscience behind gratitude and identity
• The “Stack the Evidence” tool that builds confidence
• How to grow emotional capacity in high-pressure roles
• Why gratitude makes you a leader people want to follow

Key Concepts & Takeaways:

• The opposite of gratitude is resentment — and resentment is unprocessed disappointment
• You can’t feel joy when you’re still clinging to anger
• Gratitude is not soft; it rewires your brain for clarity and confidence
• Your brain believes what you rehearse
• You can stack evidence of failure… or evidence of growth
• Gratitude creates expansion, capacity, and alignment
• Leadership influence grows when leaders notice the right things

Reflection Questions:

1. What resentment am I still carrying that is blocking gratitude?
2. What evidence have I ignored about my success or growth?
3. What am I grateful for today that I used to pray for?
