ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Gratitude Takes Practice
Host: Becky Kemp
=============================================
Welcome to our special November series: GRATITUDE FUELS GROWTH!
Yes, it's November, but gratitude shouldn't be reserved for just a day or two over Thanksgiving—it's a daily practice of intentional language and choices that shape how we lead and live.
In today's kick-off episode, Becky Kemp explores why complaining is often an easy justification, while practicing gratitude takes deliberate effort and focus.
