Gratitudes and platitudes! But srsly, in this era of “good vibes only” and performing happiness, serenity, etc. on the socials, what do we make of gratitude? Yr intrepid hosts explore what cultivating sustained attention to gratitude looks like for them, how gratitude practices can thrive in community and help communities thrive in turn, and the challenges of expressing genuine gratitude in a culture that often leans toward toxic positivity instead. Nota bene: while this is a vibe-friendly pod, vibes don’t have to be, and are often explicitly, not good. Also: songs for the moment.
