On the Well Woman Show this week, I am celebrating ten years of being in business for myself! In those ten years, I worked with many large academic and government institutions as well as non-profits and entrepreneurs.

Today, I want to tell you my story about starting my own business, and also I want to share a practice that I have only used with one-on-one clients with you in honor of my ten year anniversary!

Now is a great time to invest in your dreams and create what you desire in your life. You can learn more and register at this link: https://wellwomanlife.com/academy

223 Just Giovanna: How to Produce Long Lasting Positive Feelings Without Faking It

By Giovanna Rossi | Oct 16, 2020 |

How can you consistently produce positive feelings without faking it or somehow settling for being grateful just because “it could be worse”?

On the show today we’ll dive into gratitude through the lens of the Well Woman Framework. I’ll talk about how to avoid faking your gratitude and how to consistently produce long-lasting positive feelings that lead to taking action. This is not about conjuring up false gratitude or telling yourself you “should” be grateful for something.

When you identify social, political, or economic inequality that impacts you personally or impacts your community or the world, it’s important not to fall prey to the “well, it’s much better than it used to be – you should be grateful” narrative.

I’ll walk you through the exact activities I use in the Well Woman Academy, giving you a peek into the group coaching program I run for smart women changing the world.
