Hello, Honest Women community! Welcome back to another episode of the Honest Women Podcast. Today, we're diving into a topic that resonates deeply this time of year. It's November, the month of gratitude, but what happens when finding gratitude feels like just another task on our never-ending to-do list?"
In today's episode, we get honest about:
- The unseen burden that often falls on women: There is a lack of balance within our homes, especially during the holiday season. As demands increase, many of us, particularly women, feel we barely keep our heads above water. The pressure to present Instagram-worthy homes and families adds another layer to the struggles. Today, we get honest about the challenges of finding gratitude amidst these expectations.
- Our blocks to gratitude: during this chaotic time, self-care, healthy eating, and even basic needs like sleep often take a back seat. We explore the factors that hinder our ability to be present and experience gratitude. Are past experiences, societal pressures, or personal exhaustion contributing to this block? We delve into the complex web of emotions and circumstances that might hold us back.
- Working to find gratitude in the every day: From dry shampoo to online grocery shopping and our beloved Pinterest meal planning boards, there's humor in the little things. We discuss the importance of recognizing and appreciating these small joys. Plus, the value of being grateful for yourself during this season.
As we navigate the holiday season, let's remember to be honest with ourselves about the struggles we face and find gratitude in the small, everyday moments. Thanks for joining us in this candid conversation. Don't forget to show yourself some appreciation. Until next time, stay true, stay honest, and take a moment to be grateful for the amazing person you are.
