28 | How Thankfulness Transforms Relationships and Lives - featuring Alberta Curtis Minters

Gratitude isn’t just for the Thanksgiving table—it’s a powerful mindset that can deeply impact our friendships, relationships, and overall well-being. In this episode of The Friendship Tour, we explore how thankfulness can help us build stronger, more meaningful connections and bring more peace, joy, and resilience into our lives.

I’m joined by Alberta Curtis Minters—my amazing mother-in-law and one of the most thankful, joy-filled women I know—for a heartfelt conversation about the power of gratitude. Mrs. Minters shares how cultivating a grateful heart has helped her navigate everything from personal disappointments to family dynamics (yes, even with a strong-willed daughter-in-law like me!).

Together, we unpack:

• 💛 What it truly means to live with a heart of thankfulness

• 🙏 How gratitude can change your perspective on friendship and life

• 🧠 The link between thankfulness, emotional health, and resilience

• 💬 Practical ways to practice gratitude in everyday relationships

• 🌱 Why grateful people often build deeper, longer-lasting friendships

Whether you’re in a season of joy or challenge, this episode will inspire you to see your friendships—and your life—through a more thankful lens.
