The Gratitude Podcast - Stories That Inspire Positive Thinking & Gratitude

By Georgian Benta

Gratitude is the one thing that helped me most in my life from all the personal development and spiritual practices that I did and that’s why I want to inspire 100.000 people to discover how to feel grateful more often and live a happy life.

"It's not happiness that makes us grateful; it's gratefulness that makes us happy." - David Steindl-Rast

I do this by interviewing successful people and getting them to share fascinating stories about how gratitude has helped them get to where they are now.

The Gift Of Being A Woman In The Free World with Nathalie Sader

The Gift Of Being A Woman In The Free World with Nathalie Sader

A clinical psychologist back in Lebanon, Nathalie Sader was always passionate about human happiness, health, and wellness.

Growing up in a country where being a woman is a challenge, Nathalie was living in survival mode, exhausted to meet society standards that dictate how a woman should look, feel, think and act!

After she moved to the U.S, her spiritual and self-love journey started at the moment she discovered a life in her womb.

"Sometimes it takes another human being to make you love yourself again" she says.

Recently, after she graduated as a Certified Holistic Health Coach from IIN, she founded My Food Innergy to fulfill her life purpose and mission: empowering women to love themselves again unconditionnally and rejoice in their femininity through healthy and delicious eating , creating positive thoughts, attracting fulfilling relationships, developing an inspiring spiritual practice, discovering pleasurable body movement and finding their true calling in life so they can feel and look fabulous!

Grateful Leadership - It's For Us All with Steve Foran

Grateful Leadership - It's For Us All with Steve Foran

Steve Foran walked away from a career as an electrical engineer after having what you’d call an “ah-ha” moment. He now works with a happiness company called Gratitude at Work and has spoken throughout Canada and the United States sharing his simple Gratitude at Work philosophy. He just published his first book, Surviving to Thriving: The 10 Laws of Grateful Leadership to help realize his dream of 1 billion happier people.

When he’s not researching or teaching the benefits of living a grateful life, he can be found golfing or running, or trying to out-wit his two grown children Nick and Stef, who think this whole gratitude thing is a mid-life crisis.

Helping us today to spend more time thriving and less time surviving, I’m pleased to introduce you to story-teller, leadership mentor and recovering engineer - Steve Foran.
