When we think of gratitude, we think of being grateful of external things. What about inner gratitude? The act of being grateful for our own talents, abilities, and wins? No matter how big or small.

Kristen shares some of the things she's been grateful for in her life. From her upbringing, to her sister's coming out, to toilet paper.

She hopes to spark something in you to realize how the little things are things we shouldn't take for granted.

Plus, there are some great prompts to bring to the Thanksgiving table!

Here's a link to the story about her sister, mentioned in today's podcast:
