Gratitude sounds simple.
It isn’t.

Somewhere along the way, many of us stop noticing what’s right in front of us. Not because we don’t care, but because life trains us to brace instead of receive. To assume instead of ask. To protect instead of see.

This episode sits with that tension. With the quiet way bitterness fills the gaps when we aren’t paying attention. With the small, easily missed moments that carry more life than we expect, if we’re willing to notice them.

It isn’t an answer.
It’s a pause.

🎧 No Stage, Just a ChairA podcast for people figuring it out as they go: building honest brands, real decisions, and work that feels like theirs.

Before you listen:

• What area of your life has quietly welcomed bitterness or resentment?
• Where have you unexpectedly found beauty recently?
• When was the last time you stopped in the middle of a moment and took five deep breaths?
• What assumption have you been carrying that you have not questioned yet?
