There is a tendency among leaders today, anybody with responsibility really, to focus on themselves to the detriment of those around them. One reason for this is that responsibility can feel like a weight on your shoulders, and helping others along the way can feel a little daunting!

395: How Gratitude Helps Your Heart Grow by Chris LoCurto

In today's podcast, we are going to dive into understanding why we label and judge those around us, how we can stop ourselves from living in this negative mindset, and why being self-aware is key in preventing us from living in a false narrative.

It's a scary world out there when we put labels on people. We live in a culture that is obsessed with cancling people, labeling everyone, and an insane amount of negative self-talk. This can become exhausting, but we also fall short in getting caught up in all of this! So, how do we survive in this world? Well, it starts with taking responsibility of what YOU do, how you label people, and the boun...
