Why This Program Exists

For most of my life, I lived with a maddening contradiction.

I knew gratitude was the key to happiness. Every coach, spiritual teacher, self-help guru, and wellness expert I ever read or spoke with confirmed it. But no matter how hard I tried to "practice gratitude," it felt forced, fake, and ultimately made me feel worse.

How could I genuinely feel grateful when:

My mind constantly anticipated the next disaster
The world is objectively filled with suffering
Feeling happy while others suffer seemed selfish and wrong

I was caught in what I now call "The Gratitude Trap" - knowing I should feel grateful but finding it impossible and inappropriate in a world that's so clearly broken.

This internal conflict created a constant background noise of anxiety, guilt, and dissatisfaction that affected everything:

My 26-year marriage (physically present but mentally elsewhere)
My relationship with my children (connecting but not fully)
My work (successful but never satisfied)
My sense of purpose (knowing what mattered but too anxious to fully embody it)

For decades, I masked this mental chaos with various escapes. Even as I built a successful business, created a beautiful family life, and achieved external success, the Jaws music of impending doom never stopped playing in the background.

Then I discovered something that changed everything.

The breakthrough wasn't in trying harder to feel grateful. It was in learning how to be present with ALL of it - the joy and the pain, the beauty and the brokenness, the love and the fear - without judgment.

Through a specific mindfulness practice I developed over years of study and personal experimentation, I discovered that genuine gratitude doesn't require denying reality or pretending everything's fine.

I learned to direct my attention intentionally, without forcing or faking anything. The mental quiet was so profound, I couldn't believe it. For the first time, I could:

Actually be present with my wife instead of just occupying the same space
Fully engage with my children without my mind wandering to problems
Make business decisions from clarity rather than anxiety
Experience genuine moments of joy without waiting for perfect circumstances
Hold both life's beauty and challenges simultaneously - without faking either one

I didn't become some blissed-out spiritual guru. I'm still me - sarcastic humor intact. But I gained the ability to choose where my attention goes instead of being hijacked by worry.

And that changed everything.

The transformation was so profound that it affected every area of my life:

My marriage became deeper through genuine presence
My parenting became more connected and authentic
My work became more effective with less effort
My sense of purpose aligned with my daily experience

All from a simple 10-minute daily practice that anyone can do. I just had to figure out how to share it with people, and well, here we are.

Your Road Map to a Grateful Life

We've broken it into three simple phases. In each phase, you'll learn step-by-step how to move from feeling stressed, worried, or overwhelmed to living with clarity, gratitude, and joy.

Weeks 1-3: Laying the Foundation (Building Awareness & Presence)

Cornerstone
Every great structure starts with a cornerstone. The breath is the constant that keeps us grounded, present, and connected no matter the chaos.
The Framework
Your body is always in the present moment, while your mind often wanders. Tuning into the body ensures stability, keeping you focused on what’s real instead of hypothetical.
Foundation of Connection
Success in real estate is built on relationships. When we shift from a transactional mindset to a relational one, we create deeper, more meaningful connections with clients and colleagues alike.

Weeks 4-6: Paving the Road (Integrating Mindfulness into Daily Life)

Off the Cushion
Mindfulness isn’t about sitting still—it’s about how we engage with daily life. Bringing awareness to everyday actions ensures we show up fully in our work and relationships.
Rewriting the Contract
In real estate and life, interpretation is everything. By shifting our perspective, we take responsibility for the meaning we create and choose an empowering approach to challenges.
Focus & Flexibility
Just as a camera lens can zoom in on problems or possibilities, our focus determines our experience. We always have a choice about where to direct our attention.

Weeks 7-9: Getting on the Road (Sustaining Gratitude & Long-Term Growth)

Cascading Wins
Gratitude expands when we recognize how many elements had to align for a single success. Seeing this interconnectedness shifts our mindset from scarcity to abundance.
Resilience in the Storm
Challenges are inevitable, but we don’t have to be thrown off course. Having a framework to navigate setbacks ensures we stay clear-headed and adaptable.
The Reciprocity of Success
True success is a cycle—when we act generously, we naturally access gratitude, and when we’re grateful, we’re more inclined to give. This final step explores how generosity and gratitude fuel each other in life and business.

"I can recognize just how good I have it right now."

Just the whole focus on gratitude. I love meditating and spending time listening (to my thoughts, to the universe, to my spirit guides…), but I don’t spend enough time realizing how good I already have it!”

-Travis F

“I’m better at distinguishing pain from self-inflicted suffering.”

“For one, I think I am much better at noticing what is pain and what is self-inflicted suffering, and quicker to put aside the unnecessary suffering. I also find myself noticing when I am living into an unhappy future and am better about bringing myself back to the present.”

-Edilee G

Incredible difference in the amount of "monkey chatter" that goes on in my head.

Being able to identify triggering moments, take a deep breath, and visualize as an observer. Life changing!!

Lorraine H.

“Every session introduced new insights and techniques.”

“At first, simply sitting still felt almost impossible, but as my mind began to settle, many things became clear. I soon found myself looking forward to each mindfulness class, as every session introduced new insights and techniques that deepened my understanding."

-Angela B.
