What does Jamie's become?
You know, I've done a lot of cool things as an adult, but the fun mic drop moment is that I was an addict and alcoholic. And growing up, wow, I made life hard for myself. I made it hard. I made it dark. And I didn't see any other way out.
I feel that you were just so thankful of the moments. And I think that's something that people miss.
Well, you know, it's really easy to have this big philosophical idea that like we should be grateful. But what does that actually break down to? Like that's hard.
What are a couple of things that people can do to limit those type of conversations that we all have on a regular basis?
Well, there's a reason they call it a practice, right? You have to practice. It's not intuitive. And in fact, I would challenge that it's the opposite. So our brains are actually wired the way that our neurochemistry is wired. We are wired to look for the bad, the problems, something that might attack us, the saber-toothed tiger. It is what kept us alive as a species.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode of Mick Unplugged. And today's guest has turned her personal challenges into a global mission of helping others. She is the founder, the creator of Gratitudeology, which we're gonna spend a lot of time going into today. She is a dear friend and I like to call her QVC's finest. Please join me in welcoming the amazing, the talented, the selfless, Ms. Jamie Hess. Jamie, how are you doing today, dear?
I'm amazing.
You are amazing.
I'm feeling amazing. And I very much believe in the reticular activating system of our brain. So I've taken to saying I'm amazing. I've taken to saying, you know, as I'm walking down the stairs in the morning and my mind wants to say, You know, oh, I'm so tired. It's so early. I say, wow, why is everything so amazing? Why does everything work out for me? How is my life so incredible today? And the more you call it out like that, the more you believe it.
See? See? And that's why I'm a huge fan of you and love everything that you do. And, you know, on Make Unplay, Jamie, we talk about your because. Right. That thing that's deeper than your why that really tells us or not even tells us, but tells you like that purpose, that mission that you have. So for the listeners and viewers, I'd love to share or hear Jamie's because what is Jamie's because?
Well, this is always kind of my fun mic drop moment because usually people read a description of the podcast episode or they read my bio. And I've done a lot of cool things as an adult. But the fun mic drop moment is that I was an addict and alcoholic. And growing up, wow, I made life hard for myself. I made it hard. I made it dark. And I didn't see any other way out. And the interesting thing about recovery is that they say that addiction is the only disease that once you get the treatment, you actually end up better on the other side. Like if you have cancer and you go into remission from cancer, you just go back to not having cancer. But with addiction, when you do the work in recovery, you come out a different person on the other side.
And everything that I learned about gratitude, about having a daily spiritual practice, about not being a victim and taking accountability for things and having integrity, that That was all news to me. Like that was like a blueprint for living I didn't have. And so my why, my because, because I got sober and because I learned a new way of living.
