This is Susan. Today’s lecture with Catherine really hit home. Since we have become centered in this program we have seen a drastic change in our son. He is more centered, venerable, and is cleaning up, managing his time, paying rent. Catherine brought it to my attention that it because of our shift as parents.

I want to ask a question. How often do you practice gratitude? Are you someone who looks for the good in the midst of the hard? Do you struggle to see anything positive when life is hard? Let's take a minute to look at this issue. Gratitude is an attitude. It is a choice we make on how we handle what happens to us and the events in our lives. Life can be really hard and filled with pain and disappointment. When I say gratitude is a choice I am not saying we should ignore the feelings of sadness, righteous indignation, pain, loss, etc. These feelings need to be owned and processed because they are real. However, there is something that lingers in the midst of these that can reflect a core part of our approach to life and that is our mindset on how we will allow it to affect our future. The most inspirational people I know are the ones who have a practice of gratitude. They look for things to be thankful for daily. I have a friend, Alli, who started a gratitude group during covid with 4 friends. Every day they send a text of 8 things they are grateful for in their lives. This group has been going on for 5 years and they not missed one day. When I asked her what her biggest takeaway has been, she said that she is able to get through the hard things more easily. She said the circumstances may not change but her ability to handle them does. Several years ago I had a traumatic accident. My left hand was severed from my wrist internally. The recovery from this accident was grueling at best. The situation got worse and four months into it, I broke my shoulder on my right side. I live alone so you can imagine the situation I was in. However, I made a conscious choice daily to be thankful. I chose to believe I was healing in spite of the pain. I was grateful for my daughter who was so unselfish and attentive ( the accident happened 3 weeks before her wedding), friends who would drive me to the dr. and sent gift cards to help with meals. I was grateful for uber and door dash. I was especially grateful I was created to push through hard things and trust in what I could not see. After 18 months of hard work, my recovery was at 98%. I will always believe gratitude, my faith, and hard work at rehab are the reasons I recovered.

This community exists for exactly this moment. For the mothers who won't be getting brunch reservations or handmade cards. For the ones who will spend Sunday wondering if their child thought of them at all. You belong here. And you are so deeply not alone. We want to hear from you this week. What would you want another mom in your situation to know she's not alone in feeling? Share it below — your words might be exactly what someone else needs to read today.

Hi everyone, I’m Nimrat from the PACT team 🤍 I know you may have already seen a few posts about Connect, Grow & Thrive LIVE, happening June 13–14 in Boca Raton but I wanted to come in a little differently... with the heart behind why this feels so special. A lot of parents want a better relationship with their adult child. But not every parent is willing to pause, look inward, understand the generational differences, and learn a new way of connecting when the journey has been painful. That is what makes this community different. 🤍 You’re here because your heart is still open! OPEN to healing, growth, understanding, and becoming the kind of parent who can bridge the gap instead of letting it become a wall. That deserves to be honored. That’s why, before this opens more publicly, our clients and members have first access to a private 50% off code until next Wednesday— with only 40 spots available before it opens more broadly. 🎟️✨ So I want to ask: If you were in the room with Catherine and this community for two full days, what would you most hope to feel walking out? More peace? More clarity? More hope? More connection? Less alone? Comment below — I’d truly love to hear from you 🤍 And if you feel called to be there, comment 'CONNECT' and I’ll send you the private code personally. ✨
