What are the benefits of practicing gratitude, and how can we make it a daily habit? In honor of Thanksgiving, Cathy shares the studies on why it’s so important to seek reasons to be thankful, including the effects it has on your physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. She also celebrates your wins and helps a listener break through the insecurities of “fake it ’til you make it” and instead, step into the role she is meant to be.
