Do you ever feel like life is just happening to you—like you’re stuck reacting to other people, stress, or the constant noise of the world?

Hi, I’m Dr. Margaret Cochran, and in this episode of The Relationship Doctor, I want to share one of the simplest practices I know—something so small it only takes a few minutes a day, yet powerful enough to completely shift how you show up in your relationships and your life.

Here’s the truth: you’re not powerless. You don’t have to live in a cycle of stress, negativity, or reactivity. By building a daily gratitude practice, you can literally rewire your brain, regain control over your emotions, and bring more joy, calm, and connection into your closest relationships.

This isn’t about adding more to your already full plate—it’s about choosing one small, mindful habit that can open the door to more love, more peace, and more resilience every single day.

So join me for this short, practical episode and let’s explore how just one grateful thought at a time can transform the way you live and love.
