from The Daily LEAD · host Brad Otto
This time of year can hold so many emotions at once—gratitude, exhaustion, celebration, overwhelm, hope, and burnout.

Whether you’re a parent, leader, helper, educator, counselor, clergy member, or simply emotionally tired, this conversation is a reminder that gratitude does not cancel out struggle.
