Kelly has never hidden the fact that she has a complicated relationship with gratitude, as for her, it ties so closely to privilege and ‘first world problems’ . Brooke, on the other hand, is a big fan practising gratitude and credits it with helping her overcome some of the lowest moments over the past few years. 

Today they talk about why gratitude can so quickly become a guilt-laden exercise (I’m so lucky and others are not) and one that works against itself, as well as offering some practical ways of incorporating more gratitude into your day without slipping into Pollyanna Mode.

Kel also comes to realise the core of some of her discomfort with gratitude, and how that can impact her ability to fully feel her emotions (the good and the bad). Kel and Brooke also talk about how to install gratitude (but not guilt) into their kids.

A weekly show with Kelly Exeter and Brooke McAlary, where we chat about what it means to do less and be more.

Let It Be

Gratitude - is it a trite attempt to be a Pollyanna in life? Or a way of recognising the good things and celebrate the tiny beauties? Kelly and Brooke differ a lot in this episode.
