29. Gratitude is Rooted in Connection
In this heartfelt episode of Nourished with Dr. Anikó, we explore how our deepest gratitude often springs from the connections we nurture with others. Dr. Anikó reflects on a powerful conversation with a friend and how the podcast itself has become a bridge to more meaningful relationships both with guests and listeners.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why connection is at the heart of gratitude, and how even virtual conversations can create real, lasting bonds.
- The importance of honest, resonant conversations and what it means to truly be “on the same wavelength.”
- How gratitude can deepen when we allow ourselves to be open, vulnerable, and present with others.
- A candid discussion about life’s challenges, and why not every hardship needs a “silver lining” - sometimes, it’s about finding meaning, not just positivity.
- Simple ways to notice and share appreciation in everyday life, from delighting in small moments to expressing thanks to those around us.
- Gratitude isn’t just a feeling, it’s a practice rooted in connection, openness, and shared experience.
- Even in difficult times, meaningful conversations can help us grow, heal, and find joy.
Dr. Anikó closes the episode by offering heartfelt thanks to her listeners and her guests for being an essential part of this nourishing space of reflection and connection. She acknowledges that it is through their presence, openness, and shared conversations that this podcast continues to deepen into a meaningful community rooted in gratitude and authenticity.

[00:00:00] Hello. Hello, y'all. Welcome back to another episode of Nourished with Dr. Aniko. I just got off a call with a colleague and friend who I haven't spoken to in a long time, and honestly had not ever spoken to for this long before. And we talked about so many amazing things, and she is going to be an amazing guest on an upcoming episode.[00:01:00]
Dr. Anikó: But what I was left with after we spoke amongst many, many other things, I was left feeling very connected and joyful, and heard and rooted in all kinds of. Really, really special things. But the first thought I had was, oh my gosh, it's, it's this podcast that is not necessarily allowing me to do this because I was allowed to do it before, but it's sort of the podcast that is creating the path for me to have these incredible conversations with incredible people that are.
Technically in my life, but often not as much as I would love for them to be. And I'm able to have these conversations that feel really resonant. And I know that people use the word resonate a lot and [00:02:00] sometimes,
sometimes I feel like I use it and, and. Like my parents, for example, have no idea what I mean by it, but what I mean by resonant, it's like you have a certain vibration or energy and then this other thing or idea or person is like resonating in the same way. For me, it's like saying we're on the same wavelength, but it feels a little deeper than that somehow, and.
The gift of this is being able to connect with y'all every week to be able to share this time and these ideas and these conversations with y'all, and then also to be able to connect with all these other amazing people and share those conversations and. In this time of a lot of virtual living, right? I mean, this podcast included, it's on, you know, the [00:03:00] internet.
Um, and a lot of the conversations I'm having with people are on Zoom. It still feels so connecting and it feels like our networks are just
growing together. Like I'm imagining this. System of roots somehow. You know? And it's not that I don't need human connection in real life. I absolutely do. And in some ways all of these conversations and just the fact that I am
able to. Think deeply about these things and express them to y'all is opening me more and more and more to the world, and I am so grateful, so deeply grateful for that because the world is not always super fun. It's not meant to be. I feel like that is a misunderstanding that we sometimes have of life in the world is that it's [00:04:00] meant to be great and fun all the time.
It's not, some things are hard and really not fun at all, and it's just part of life, you know? And something that my friend and colleague shared today was talking about how. Things don't always have a silver lining and. I really agree with that and I, that may be surprising to hear from me for some people.
'cause I definitely have a habit, not even a habit, but just a way of looking at things that are like, you know how that's great though? Like, uh, sort of ridiculous example is when my friend was the victim of identity theft and I was like. I guess everybody wants to be you. And it wasn't even a joke. It was like, for real.
Um, I really meant that. And so I think from the outside that may look like I am trying to reframe, to erase [00:05:00] away what is really bad and hard about the situation. And that's not at all how I approach it honestly. It's really that. And maybe it's just that it shouldn't be called a silver lining. It should just be called, there's a different shade of color here too, you know, not that, oh, you know what's so great about this horrible thing that happened, you know, and we all have, our own different stories of these really awful things that happened that maybe.
Beautiful things were opened up because that happened, but the awful, terrible, tragic thing that happened was still awful and terrible and tragic, right? Making meaning out of something very hard or something very horrible, I think is a very human and beautiful and needed. Response, but that doesn't [00:06:00] erase the difficulty and the pain and the grief and all of that.
Hard to hold part of the original experience. So
yeah, I guess I just wanted to say thank you to y'all for. Sharing this time with me and giving me a way to share these conversations with y'all and share conversations with these amazing folks in my life that I don't really talk to nearly as much as I would love to. And I'm seeing ways that I actually can do that, that I've been getting in my own way.
Right. Uh, that's so often the case, so The way that this has all been reverberating in my life is that I'm so open to all these conversations that they're sort of just being almost like magnetically drawn to me in my life, and I love it. It is deepening my experience with other [00:07:00] folks. It's deepening my experience out in the world. Talking about gratitude just makes me feel so much more gratitude.
Talking about delights and sharing delight practices with y'all just helps me delight in these ever present beautiful things in our lives. Like there's some bugs crawling up my window right now, and they're just so cute. And there's these little plants only not great for my house, but the plants themselves that are growing on the.
On the siding. They're cute though, not good for the siding, but really lovely to see all the life around me right now. so I hope you feel very appreciated right now because I appreciate you. And I am sure there are people within Arm's reach at times who deeply appreciate you too. So I hope this inspires you to share your appreciation for your [00:08:00] life, for the people in it, with the people in it.
And I hope that they share their appreciation for you. Because you are very appreciated. You are very loved. I'm so happy you're here, and thank you so much for sharing. Nourished with me. Take care, y'all. I'll see you next time. [00:09:00]
