Our guest for today is a self-taught decorative artist who, as a single mother, built her business into a nationally recognized company with projects published in every major design magazine in the US. Her new memoir, “This or Something Better” takes an unflinching look at early abuse and its effects. Readers learn how nature guided and empowered her successful career, until devastating fires on her mountain forced her to face her lifelong issues with trust. She and her husband live in Northern California, where they hike and ride horses on Sonoma Mountain.

Our guest endured a rough upbringing before becoming a proud Marine right out of high school. He was trained to fight the enemy and was prepared for war. When he volunteered for a combat tour in Iraq, little did he know his real battle would be fought in his mind.

After eight years of military service, Sgt Q suffered from depression, anger, and panic attacks and was diagnosed with PTSD. 

Sgt Q traded the battlefield for the mission field and found healing and purpose through building homes and churches, feeding children, and supplying precious hope to struggling communities worldwide.

He felt called to form QMissions, a pathway for veterans—SgtQ’s fellow warfighters—to replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving.

Now, Sgt Q is the award-winning author of Healing Thru Service originally aimed at struggling veterans, which also offers help for anyone in crisis and may be one's ticket to a more fulfilled life. He went from being homeless and on the brink of suicide to starting the multi-million dollar company with over 100 employees, Reliable Commercial Cleaning, founding the veteran non-profit, Q Missions, and the health-tech startup, Q Actual 2.0.

Had to go for 5 ideas about gratitude instead of the usual 3 as Jack Canfield is a huge advocate of gratitude and that became more and more clear as I was doing my research for this episode.

The purpose of this kind of episode is to learn from the best, from those people that we admire and that inspire us, to explore their perspective on gratitude and see how we can implement it in our life as well.

Matana Jacobs grew up speaking Hebrew at school and with her friends and English at home. Now Matana lives in the US, she's a health consultant and podcaster but also a proud mother of 5.

An orchestra director, violonist and string teacher, our guest Karen Dillard is also one of you, a Gratitude Seeker. 

She shared how much the podcast has impacted her life and I found out what amazing things she's been doing and what a legacy she's living the world so we talked a bit on Instagram and invited her to share her story and her love for music. 

Exploring and appreciating deeply something in particular can be a great source of gratitude and happiness, in contrast with always wanting more/new things for a short burst of excitement.
