Life falling apart? Perfect time for gratitude! In this special Thanksgiving episode, Dr. Deitra C. Payne gets real about practicing gratitude when everything feels like a dumpster fire.

With humor, heart, and fascinating research from UCLA, Harvard, and UC Berkeley, this episode proves that gratitude isn't about having a perfect life—it's about finding light even in the darkness. Because being grateful when everything's great is easy. Being grateful when life is chaos? That's where the magic happens!
