Gratitude has played an important role in building her resilience and positive outlook on life.

I've had struggles with my mental health since I was a child. As an adult, I've experiences mental health challenges for years. I share some of my more difficult stories with you in this episode. And I'm sharing my most important strategies for my mental health - including a strong foundation of gratitude.

I mention the brain support supplement I take from USANA Health Sciences: bit.ly/brainhealthsupport. Sometimes the easiest first step is to start with a supplement.

Remember, if you are in immediate danger or self-harm, please contact your local mental health hotline immediately.

Abena Perryman started a daily gratitude practice on Facebook a few months ago. In our interview, she shares the heart-wrenching story about why she started this practice and opens up about how difficult the past year has been for her and her family. Furthermore, a few weeks ago during the #BlackLivesMatter protests, she shared a very personal story about how her son faced racism and discrimination while playing hockey as a 10 year old! It was powerful to hear her share the details of this painful situation. It is a reminder of how important it is for white people to LISTEN and support BIPOC.

Abena is a Managing Partner at Andrew Perry, a B2B marketing firm based in the GTA.

How can we teach our kids to be more grateful? My nine-year old daughter Céline joins me for the second half of this podcast and shares how she practices gratitude. She offers great tips for parents and kids! We went through a really tough time a couple of years ago when we moved across Canada. Céline had a lot of separation anxiety and was no longer able to go to school. I share our experience during that time and how we both continued to practice gratitude, even when things were really difficult.

Two blogs posts inspired this podcast:
