37. “Why Not Me?” Reframing Suffering through Gratitude with Dr. Tanmeet Sethi

Today’s conversation is a beautiful heart-to-heart between two friends on their personal journeys of changing the lens through which they view pain and suffering. Dr. Tanmeet Sethi is an integrative physician who gave the TEDx Talk, “Two Words That Can Change Your Life.” She vulnerably shares her path of becoming a mother to a child with a life-threatening illness, and how she’s used gratitude to completely transform her relationship to that pain. Dr. Sethi gives simple gratitude practices to help you expand your capacity to feel joy, reduce suffering, and live a richer human experience.
