In this episode, Emily Silva Hockstra, author of Sunrise Gratitude, Moonlight Gratitude, and Sunset Gratitude, shares how gratitude journaling can shape the way we experience life. A longtime journaler and spiritual life coach, Emily talks about the practice of noticing small, meaningful details, how journaling deepens presence, and why writing down what we’re thankful for can change our perspective over time.
We talk about why adding a simple “because” deepens the practice, how gratitude journaling creates a record that’s different from memory, and why gratitude can be a companion not only in joyful moments but also in times of grief.
