In this episode, we explore a surprising yet research-backed path to recovery from burnout: gratitude. If you’re working in health care—or in any high-stress, high-stakes profession—you might feel like there’s no room for gratitude when your world is collapsing. But what if it could be one of the most powerful tools to reverse the helplessness and disconnection of burnout?

Dex shares stories, science, and practical exercises to help you reconnect with what’s still working—even when everything else feels broken. We cover:

  • Why gratitude doesn’t mean minimizing your suffering
  • How it restores energy, mood, and resilience—without toxic positivity
  • How healthcare professionals can begin to recover their sense of agency
  • The neuroscience behind gratitude and its physiological benefits
  • Real-world examples, including insights from “Compassionomics”
  • How to use gratitude as an act of self-respect and resistance

This episode is especially for caregivers, clinicians, and professionals who feel like they’ve given too much—and have nothing left. But it’s for anyone who wants to heal.
