🎧 Audio Drop: The Trauma of Being Told to Be Grateful

from Profit is Protest · host Shaneh Woods

There’s a version of gratitude we’ve all been sold—the kind that sounds holy but feels heavy.It started when we were kids.“Be grateful for what’s on your plate—there are children who have nothing.”And just like that, desire became dangerous. Wanting more became shameful. Asking became ungrateful.But here’s the truth:Be grateful for what you have—and stop asking for moreis the beginning of self-abandonment.Be grateful for what you were given—and don’t forget who gave it to youis the root of energetic servitude.And for too many entrepreneurs—especially the rebels, healers, and sacred disruptors I serve—that kind of weaponized gratitude is still running the show.So in this episode, we name it.We unravel it.And we replace it with something truer:Gratitude that expands your capacity, not chains you to your past.Gratitude that coexists with boundaries, discernment, and desire.Gratitude that doesn’t silence your hunger but sanctifies it.Because your asking is holy.And you, beloved?You are the feast.
