When the day's craziness hits you from all angles, what do you do? How do you cope? Have you ever thought of practicing gratitude? But how do you practice gratitude when you’re a mom and don’t even have time to go to the bathroom without being interrupted?! Don’t worry, that’s what we will discuss today.

In this episode, we will discuss the transformative power of gratitude in a busy mom’s life and how practicing gratitude can shift perspective, reduce stress, and help moms feel more present and energized. Yes! I am totally here for this! And guess what?! It doesn’t have to be something that takes hours or even 15 minutes! It can literally take you 60 seconds to incorporate in your busy busy day. AND you can practice it with your kids, while you’re getting ready for the day, driving to work, making dinner, so you don’t even have to think about finding extra time to sit down and practice gratitude. We will discuss how you can integrate this powerful practice throughout the day.

Stay strong & nourished and enjoy today’s show!
