Summary

Today's episode is a little different, and honestly, one that feels really special to share. As much as I love talking about movement, nutrition, and mindset, I also know that true peace and gratitude come from something deeper. And with Thanksgiving here, I wanted to share the five Bible verses that have grounded me most this year. These verses have helped me slow down, breathe, and stay connected to what truly matters, even when life feels full or overwhelming.

If you've felt stretched thin, distracted, or anxious heading into this season, this episode will give you a soft place to land.

Here is what you will learn:

How to invite more calm and presence into your day
The deeper meaning behind gratitude and why it strengthens your heart
A simple way to re-center your perspective when stress or heaviness shows up
Five verses you can lean on when you need peace, grounding, or reassurance

This episode is your reminder that peace is not something you have to chase. It is something you can return to, again and again, through stillness, prayer, and intentional gratitude.
