Feeling Better: Sharing My Struggles and Finding Gratitude

We explore the struggles and relief of sharing personal challenges. Discover how expressing yourself and practicing gratitude can lead to a happier life. We will talk about strategies to overcome challenges and find support.
Gratitude is Defiance

Gratitude isn’t about happiness; it’s about defiance. It’s standing in the middle of hell and saying, ‘It didn’t break me.’ Gratitude reveals the strength to survive. #GratitudeMindset #SurvivalSkills #PersonalGrowthJourney #InnerStrength #Resilience #MentalWellness #SelfHealing #Defiance #louderthanmydemons #ltmd #outlawrecovery
Gratitude vs Desperation Which Mindset REALLY Works EP. 4

In this week’s Reckoning, I’m laying it all out — raw, unfiltered, and from the heart. Gratitude isn’t just “thank you” and yoga mats… it’s defiance. It’s standing in the middle of your own personal hell and saying, “You didn’t break me.”
I share the Five S’s, the science behind why gratitude changes your brain, and the gritty reality of how it’s kept me alive through the hardest year of my life. This one’s not about being polite — it’s about staying alive.
Next week: A deep-dive into songwriting — the process, the pain, and the magic behind the music.
Coming soon: The first Speakeasy Confessional – Jozey Takes the Stand — nothing held back.
