55. You’re Doing Better Than You Think: 80 Reminders
Thu Jan 29 2026
Gratitude can feel annoying when we’re tired, overwhelmed, or just trying to get through the day.
This episode isn’t about forcing gratitude or pretending things are fine.
Instead, I share a list of 80 real-life things we tend to overlook…the kind we forget to notice when we’re busy getting through the day.
This isn’t a 5am, burn-sage, reach inner-peace kind of gratitude episode.
It’s a reminder that we’re often so focused on what’s next…or what’s missing…that we forget to notice what’s already working, what we’ve already handled, and how much we’ve already grown.
You don’t need a notebook.
You don’t need to pause and reflect.
You don’t need to “do” anything at all.
Just listen.
And if one thing on the list resonates, fantastic.
What This Episode Might Shift for You
A more realistic view of your progress…even if things feel messy right now
Less pressure to constantly “fix” yourself or your life
More appreciation for the small steps you’ve already taken
A reminder that progress doesn’t have to be big and impressive to count
Closing Thought
Progress doesn’t always look like a big, impressive moment.
If your brain tends to focus on how far you still think you need to go, that doesn’t mean you haven’t made progress.
It just means you’re human.
You can download the full list using the link below and revisit it anytime you need the reminder.
Thanks for listening!
You get one dash.
Make it matter.
