Startup Cafe: The Truth of Gratitude
“The Truth of Gratitude” with Paul M. Vincent
It’s the season of gratitude — but instead of forcing gratitude, even when we don’t feel it, this conversation takes a different approach.
We’ll explore why the nervous system blocks the natural expression of gratitude, how wonder fades into familiarity, and how opening ourselves more fully reconnects us to what truly fulfills us. We’ll also include somatic practices for a direct, embodied experience.
