What Your Camera Roll Can Teach You About Gratitude

What happens when you go looking for one photo and suddenly find yourself scrolling through years of your life? In this episode of Brave Moves, I’m talking about what happened when a simple trip through my camera roll brought me back to old trips, friendships, ordinary moments I had almost forgotten, and an unexpectedly precious video of my late brother. I also share something I’ve been thinking about since returning from New York and hearing Pat Flynn talk about creation and showing more of ourselves in a world filled with AI. It made me realize how often I still hold back because of my own insecurities, even after years of putting myself out there. And then I came home to my 14-year-old Maltese, Simba, not acting like himself. As we prepared to take him to the vet, those old photos and videos took on even more meaning. If gratitude feels difficult or forced right now, I have a different idea for you. Open your camera roll. Go back a year. Go back five years. Find a picture you forgot you took and spend a few minutes remembering what was happening outside the frame. Your Brave Move: Choose one photo and write a few sentences about it. Where were you? Who was there? What do you remember that the picture doesn’t show? You might be surprised by how much o If you loved this episode, text me and let me know what you though.
