Gratitude is a verb. It must be felt, implemented, and expressed.
In the Season 1 finale of Space To Exhale: The Podcast, Lisa is joined by her big sister Sharon Hurley Hall, author of I’m Tired of Racism, for a heartfelt conversation about the power of appreciation, especially when the world feels heavy.
Just in time for Thanksgiving, and the holiday season, this episode invites you into a tender and transformative space to reflect, reconnect, and reclaim gratitude as a gentle-yet-potent force for healing.
Lisa and Sharon talk about sisterhood, softness, and how appreciation can transform not only our inner world but also the structures around us. Whether you are already living the soft life or just beginning to explore it, this episode will meet you where you are.
From this reflective conversation led by two second-generation Reiki Masters, you will discover:
🙏🏾 The sacred connection between gratitude and grace
🙏🏾 How to embrace and embody appreciation as a practice
🙏🏾 How appreciation connects to liberation, healing, and community care for Black women
🙏🏾 What it means to stay grounded in softness during stressful seasons
🙏🏾 Meditations and mindfulness practices to help you create your own space to exhale
This milestone 30th episode is a beautiful close to Season 1. Tune in and give yourself permission to breathe, reflect, and receive. It is time to exhale.
