Holding Yourself With Kindness: Gratitude, Vulnerability, and Healing

Holding Yourself With Kindness: Gratitude, Vulnerability, and Healing

In this uplifting conversation, therapist and host Malisa Hepner is joined by Laura Bratton, founder of Ubi Global, to explore gratitude as a practice of honoring the work we do on ourselves. Together, they reflect on the courage it takes to show up, do the inner work, and continue evolving—especially when growth feels slow, unseen, or exhausting. This conversation highlights the power of self-compassion, perseverance, and community in sustaining personal transformation, reminding listeners that gratitude doesn't have to be about outcomes—it can be about who we are becoming and the effort we choose to make, again and again.

Instead of forcing positivity, choose one moment each day where you offer yourself compassion first—then notice what you're grateful for. Healing begins when we stop demanding strength from ourselves and start allowing tenderness.
