Why "Just Be Grateful" Backfires When You’re Starting Over After 50

Описание: If one more person tells you to "just be grateful" while you are trying to rebuild your life from scratch, you might scream. And you wouldn’t be wrong.
When you are starting over after 50—whether from addiction, divorce, or loss—forced gratitude doesn't heal you. It actually shuts you down. In this video, we break down why "toxic positivity" is sabotaging your recovery and introduce a different tool called "Grounded Gratitude" (or "Grateful Despite") that actually helps you find your footing without denying your pain.
You don't have to pretend everything is fine. Let's talk about how to rebuild honestly.
