Welcome to the Ground & Gratitude Podcast
How do you design a life that not only grows, but also gives?
It’s a question that Lorilee Rager has been asking herself lately.
There won’t be quick fixes, magic elixirs, or dubious schemes in this podcast. Instead, you’ll hear plenty of honest conversations from entrepreneurs, creatives, teachers, and resilient humans that have real life experiences to share. There will be expert advice as well as reminders that the key to a healthier life lies within you, and you have a choice to design the life you want. This will be a space where you are not alone, and where you are enough just as you are.
About Ground & Gratitude Podcast
I am a small business owner, writer, professor, and mom. This podcast felt like the natural next step since finishing my MFA in graphic design — a chance to continue my research and self-discovery of the authentic joy from living an honest,sober life in recovery.
We will explore ways to trust your own gut, find true beauty, and cultivate the courage that’s already inside you. We will risk vulnerability together, and plow ahead with resilience, hope, and optimism, no matter what storms may come.
My own designer-in-recovery conversations will live here in a safe space. A space where we can expand abundant thoughts and let honest conversations ebb and flow. The goal is to help us all get a little more grounded in our own gratitude.
