In this episode, Kristi Nelson discusses how to live gratefully when life isn’t going your way. She explores how to learn to cultivate unconditional gratitude – appreciating life itself, even amidst difficulty, aging, or illness. Kristi shares insights from her cancer journey, explores the difference between circumstantial gratitude and deeper gratefulness, and offers practical exercises for embracing aging with self-compassion. Together, she and Eric discuss mindfulness, the impermanence of life, and how to find meaning and presence in each moment.
