Ep 484When a Friend Isn't Generous: Rethinking Gratitude, Generosity, and Happiness
We hear a lot these days about boundaries, self-care, and protecting our energy. But what about generosity? In this episode, Kristy Lauricella and I explore generosity—what it means, how it shows up in everyday life, and why noticing it can quietly transform how we experience the world. We discuss generosity as a mindset, not just big acts of giving; how to receive it from others; why acknowledging small acts of kindness matters; and the connection between generosity, gratitude, and happiness.

Trailer: Welcome to Authentic Parenting
trailerAuthentic Parenting is a podcast about breaking generational trauma cycles and raising emotionally healthy children by growing ourselves first. If you want to parent differently than you were parented, this podcast is for you. We explore how emotions actually work and how childhood trauma lives in the brain, body, and relationships. You'll learn how to regulate your nervous system, stay calm under stress, prevent burnout, and respond instead of react — so you can become a more patient, grounded, and happier parent. Hosted by Anna Seewald, psychologist, educator and parent coach, this show blends psychology, trauma-informed insight, and honest conversations about what it really takes to raise our children while growing ourselves.
