This show is for anyone out there who feels like they’ve settled for an unfulfilling life. Whether you’ve settled in a relationship, the work that you do, or how you feel about yourself, we’re here to tell you that Settling’s Not an Option! Who are we to tell you this? We’re two people who found ourselves settling and decided that it wasn’t an option for us. We want you to know that you’re not alone. We’re here to give you some guidance and encouragement as you encounter the many obstacles you’ll face when you decide that Settling’s Not an Option. We’ll share our stories and hear from some interesting guests who will share their experiences with us. Welcome to the show, and we hope you find a few tips to take along with you on your journey.

The Little Known Benefits of Practicing Deep Gratitude & What’s Standing In Your Way
Saturday Feb 19, 2022
Saturday Feb 19, 2022
We tend to think of gratitude as an individual practice, but let's not settle for that understanding of gratitude. Deep gratitude is not just about acknowledging our blessings; it's about giving back and passing blessings along to others. Deep gratitude is about resisting the pull of resentment so that we are able to form stronger relationships. And, implementing a deep gratitude practice can even help us become better thinkers!
These are just some of the "interesting" ideas we explore with our Special Guest: 🌟 Dr. Kerry Howells 🌟
You can learn more about Dr. Kerry Howells and her work at https://kerryhowells.com/. Her latest book, "Untangling You -- How Can I Be Grateful When I Feel So Resentful" can be accessed through her site, and she's even been gracious enough to extend a special offer to our Australian listeners 💲$10 off when you use the code UNTANGLE10 💲
