E24 Gratitude in Motion: How Thankfulness Shifts Your Mindset, Your Home, and Your Leadership

In this pre Thanksgiving episode of Lead with Spark, Lynsey explores the power of gratitude as more than a seasonal feeling. It is a daily leadership skill that shapes your mindset, your home, and your work. You will learn how gratitude supports an abundance mindset, reduces stress, strengthens relationships, and helps you stay grounded when life feels full and messy. Lynsey shares her family’s “Thankful Board” tradition, a simple mudroom practice that keeps memories, people, and joyful moments in front of them all year long. You will also hear examples of big and small gratitudes, from being thankful for breath on hard days to savoring a smile from the barista. The episode wraps with three practical tools you can start right away, a gratitude walk, a gratitude log, and your own version of a thankful board or wall. This is the perfect episode to reset your focus, lead with more intention, and carry a spirit of gratitude into the holiday season and beyond.

Key learnings from this episode:

• How gratitude rewires your brain toward an abundance mindset instead of scarcity
• Why simple daily gratitude practices boost resilience, emotional health, and leadership
• How a “Thankful Board” can become a visual anchor for family and team gratitude
• Ways to practice gratitude on tough days when all you can name is breath or coffee
• Practical ideas to teach gratitude to your kids, your team, and yourself this season

One line to take with you:
Gratitude does not deny the hard, it simply refuses to hand it the microphone.
