Send us Fan MailThe Grateful Podcast with Jack WagonerEpisode 106Guesting David Lorimer AKA  ⁨@today.iam.grateful⁩  Gratitude isn’t soft. It’s power.In this episode, I sit down again with David Lorimer, the man behind the Today I Am Grateful movement followed by over 400,000 people. Online, David is known for posting daily videos on what he is grateful for and is at the forefront of the gratitude moment. However, this isn’t just a list of nice things. We dive into how gratitude can literally save your life, how to find it when everything falls apart, and why society has made it “against the rules” to enjoy where you are.David shares his lowest point, when he couldn’t even name one thing to be grateful for—until a flash of blue from a bird changed everything. From there we explore toxic positivity, why success never feels enough, and how gratitude flips pain into growth.This one left me buzzing. I promise you’ll never look at gratitude the same way again.Key Discussion Points•Losing yourself and finding gratitude•The bluebird that started it all•Why success always moves the goalpost•Toxic positivity vs. real healing•Turning anger and sadness into gratitude👉 If this episode helped you, share it with someone who needs it.Chapters:00:00 The Power of Gratitude11:55 Levels of Gratitude21:55 Finding Joy in the Ordinary30:02 The Interdependence of Life33:39 The Journey of Gratitude38:51 Navigating Difficult Days43:08 Building a Positive Community46:54 Creating Local Change54:10 The Balance of Emotions01:00:18 Gratitude as a Tool for Change01:06:27 Introduction and Gratitude01:06:57 Podcast Structure and Future EpisodesSupport the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2302168/supportFind David:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/today.iam.grateful/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@today.iam.gratefulYouTube:  @today.iam.grateful  📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL7rwtc5s_KcTZMHSJng-FQSubscribe for more deep conversations with thinkers, seekers, and soulful creators. 🙏⸻🧠 More from Jack:Newsletter (Magic, Meaning & Momentum): https://magic.beehiiv.com/v1/aa6b0945-43aa-43c8-b320-0fde6998f852?email=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jack_wagoner_/1:1 Coaching & Dream-Chasing Guidance: [email protected]💬 If you found this conversation meaningful, send it to a friend and leave a review.
