<br />✨ Episode Summary:<br />In this heartwarming holiday episode, Cheri pops out of her retreat-mode to drop a cozy, candid Thanksgiving chat straight from her pink treehouse. Inspired by a silent meditation retreat and a real-talk moment with a client, she gets real about why gratitude sometimes feels forced—and how to gently shift into a more loving, ease-filled practice. With stories of chapstick, cranky teens, and making lunches with love, Cheri invites us to stop overthinking gratitude and start living it. This episode ends with a beautiful, breath-centered guided meditation on love and thankfulness.<br /><br />🔑 Key Learning Points:<br />Gratitude doesn't need a journal. You don’t have to write it down to feel it—just find the good in everyday moments and let the thankfulness naturally flow.<br />Resentment vs. Reverence. The way we frame our daily “chores” can turn obligation into a sacred act of service—and that shift changes everything.<br />Love makes life taste better. Whether you're cooking, cleaning, or just breathing, doing it with love transforms your entire experience (and maybe even the flavor).<br /><br />💌 Mentions &amp; Shout-Outs:<br /><br />🧘 Self-Realization Fellowship – Cheri’s recent silent meditation retreat that inspired this soulful drop-in.<br />📚 Gratitude Journals – The pros, cons, and Cheri’s “just live it” alternative.<br />💖 "It's Easy and I Like It" Tattoos – Cheri’s go-to mantra and mini gift from her talks.<br />📺 NewRealityTV.com + URView TV – Where you can find Cheri’s video meditations.<br />📬 Cheri’s Gift Guide &amp; Retreat Newsletter – Sign up at TheStressTherapist.com<br /> to get it!<br />📧 Email her anytime: cheri@thestresstherapist.com<br />💕 Follow Cheri:<br />Instagram: @thestresstherapist<br />Twitter/X: @stresstherapy<br /><br />🎧 Produced by Owen Flake – Mixing the vibes and polishing the magic, thank you for making it all sound so good!<br />
