Okay, Now What? - With Kate Gladdin

When Gratitude Isn't Enough: Finding Awe in the Awful


Listen Later

I'm grateful to be back after taking time off following the loss of my beautiful mum - and 2025 has been a year.

Everyone talks about gratitude when you're going through grief and hard times. "Just be grateful for what you have and still remains." And sure, gratitude is powerful. But I've discovered something deeper, something more perspective-shifting that's actually been saving me on my darkest days.

In this episode:

  • The one thing that's different from gratitude (and why it matters when you're drowning in grief or overwhelm)
  • The incredible story behind my new intro music (thanks Kevin Lowe!)
  • Why your brain can hold grief and wonder at the same time
  • A simple challenge that could shift everything today

Here's the truth: your brain naturally finds the awful. That's its job. But there's something else your brain can find too - if you know where to look.

Tune in to find out what it is.

If you're ready for real support (not fluff), I'm here to help you make sense of the pain, rebuild yourself, and gently take your power back—one choice, one breath, one brave step at a time. Book a free 30-minute coaching consult with me here: https://www.kategladdin.com/coaching
