S3:EP8- Who Told You Being Grateful Means You Gotta Settle?

Who told you that being grateful means you have to settle for a life you're not happy with? Let's talk about it.

Too many women are struggling with guilt because they want more out of life. More peace.

More confidence. Better boundaries.

More fulfillment. But somewhere along the way, they started believing that wanting something different makes them ungrateful.

And that's exactly what we're challenging in this episode. Join Shawnti Boswell, MA, CMHC , mental health coach and host of The Quiet As Kept Podcast , for a real conversation about gratitude without guilt, personal growth, self-worth, and the difference between being content and simply being comfortable.

We're talking about why women feel guilty for wanting more, how people-pleasing can keep you stuck, and why being thankful for what you have doesn't mean you have to stop pursuing what you want. Plus, we're getting into five journal prompts to help you examine where you may be settling and what needs to change.

Because you can be grateful and still want better for yourself. Ready to stop talking about change and start working toward it?
