from The Morning Share · host The Morning Share

What if the reason we’ve lost our sense of awe is simply because we’ve drifted too far away? In this episode, we explore how proximity and intention can reconnect us to the natural world—and to ourselves. From backyard roses to slowing down long enough to notice, we’re asking what it looks like to move from consumption to relationship, and rediscover gratitude as a way of living.Timestamps00:00 – Midweek check-in + Monday recap02:01 – The two keys: proximity & intention04:00 – Why distance kills wonder07:00 – Knowing vs being moved10:00 – Consumption vs connection12:30 – The rose bush dilemma 🌹16:00 – Are we the only ones disconnected?20:00 – Small ways to reconnect with nature27:00 – Wisdom, gratitude, and humility33:00 – Practical steps to practice gratitude in nature35:00 – Final thought: gratitude as wisdomShow Music: Just Like Me by, ThruLineThe Morning Share Podcast is produced, edited, and mixed by Angela Boeckman and Deanna West.SocialsWebsite: themorningshare.comInstagram: @themorningsharepodSubstack: themorningshare.substack.com
