In this episode, Paula breaks down the brain science behind gratitude in simple, powerful terms anyone can understand. She explains what actually happens in your brain when you feel genuine appreciation, why gratitude instantly shifts your mood, and how it rewires your nervous system over time. You’ll learn about the “Gratitude Cocktail” of feel-good chemicals, why your stress response calms down when you focus on what’s working, and how gratitude reshapes the parts of the brain responsible for clarity, emotional regulation, and connection. 


This isn’t about pretending life is perfect — it’s about understanding the biology of feeling supported, safe, and resourceful. If you want to change your energy, change your mindset, and change your life, this episode gives you the science and the steps to start today.
