Gratitude, Growth, and the People Who Shaped Me This Year

As we head into Thanksgiving week, I wanted to slow things down… just a little. This season has a way of making us breathe deeper, notice more, and really reflect on what truly matters. Inside Salon Lace, we call it Gratitude Friday — and today, I’m bringing that same energy straight into this episode.

In this heartfelt conversation, I’m sharing the things — and people — who carried me, challenged me, strengthened me, and shaped me this year. From the moments that brought joy to the moments that nearly broke me… this episode is all about honoring the blessings that matter most.

We talk about the relationships that kept me grounded, the support systems that held me up, the growth that surprised me, and the hard seasons that refined me in ways I never expected. This one is honest, vulnerable, and straight from the heart.

This episode is a reminder to slow down… to notice what’s right in front of you… and to remember that gratitude isn’t just something we feel — it’s something we express.

If you listen to anything this week, let it be this.
Your heart might walk away feeling just a little bit lighter. 💛
