| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to life, death, and the space between podcast. By now, hopefully you know me. I'm your |
| 0:10.0 | host, Dr. Amy Robbins. If you are wondering what my story is and what I'm all about, head on back |
| 0:15.8 | to episode two and take a listen and you'll get to know me real quick that way. So happy Thanksgiving to everybody. |
| 0:23.9 | Today, I'm just going to do sort of a RIF podcast and talk about two things that I think on this |
| 0:33.8 | holiday, well, one thing on this holiday that gets a lot of play. And I wanted to talk |
| 0:38.5 | about it, but I'm sort of hesitant to talk about it because sometimes I feel like the concept |
| 0:44.2 | of gratitude seems trite and overused. And while I think it's obviously a very, very worthwhile |
| 0:53.4 | practice, I don't love the notion of Thanksgiving |
| 0:57.4 | being the day of gratitude because I think that every day should be a day of gratitude in some |
| 1:03.4 | former fashion. But I also think it's really, really tough to manufacture gratitude. And what I mean by |

| 1:20.3 | list that you make, but something that you really intently feel deeply. And so I'm going to give you guys a little example of this for me. As many of you know, |
| 1:32.4 | and I probably did like four insta stories on this and never posted any of them because they were |
| 1:38.8 | just so long. So I'm going to turn it into a podcast and hope that in the end, it all ties together and makes some sense. |
| 1:46.5 | As many of you know, I recently celebrated, or we recently and my family celebrated my daughter's bat mitzvah. |
| 1:54.1 | And while leading up, while in the days leading up to it, it was pretty stressful. |
| 1:59.4 | And there was a lot of craziness, tumult, as people say. |
| 2:06.0 | I really wanted to be able to enjoy the actual day, and it was really important to me because we had so many family members and friends that were celebrating with us that I was able to be present with them. |
| 2:22.5 | And many of you know from listening that I'm also a meditator. |
| 2:27.6 | I try to have a pretty active meditation practice, although sometimes it does kind of fall by the wayside in the hecticness |
| 2:36.6 | of everyday life. And one of the things that people often ask me or when I'm often educating, |
