What Happens When You Choose Gratitude?
Description
Thanksgiving isn’t about the perfect meal, the perfect family, or the perfect year. It's about perspective.
In this special Harder Than Life Thanksgiving episode, Kelly Siegel brings together some of the most powerful moments from past conversations. Stories of resilience, forgiveness, faith, healing, love, loss, and choosing gratitude even when life gets heavy.
These clips remind us that gratitude isn’t about what’s easy. It’s about being thankful for what grew you.
Because being Harder Than Life doesn’t mean being unbreakable. It means being thankful through it all.
