Maria sits down with the mom of four, former teacher, motivational speaker, and author, who has not only transformed her own life, but the lives of thousands with a simple morning routine that is rooted in gratitude.
Katie shares her personal story of growth and change that started after her daughter was diagnosed with an illness that put her into a dark place. To help herself navigate around a place of worry and despair she became more intentional by starting her day by celebrating the "positives" in her life. She also celebrated what she was thankful for, no matter how small. This practice had big life-changing effects on her and her entire family.
