Gratitude isn’t about pretending things are okay when they’re not. It’s about finding something—no matter how small—to hold onto when the world feels heavy. It’s about remembering that even the smallest acts of kindness can shift not only someone else’s day but also your own. I talk about why helping others is a form of healing, how gratitude can disrupt despair, and why we all hold more power to uplift than we sometimes realise.
