Building a Life of Gratitude - From Rehab to a Global Movement - Mark White
About this episode
Mark White shares his journey of recovery from addiction and the transformative power of gratitude.
For Mark White, gratitude is more than just a word. It’s a daily practice that helped him rebuild his life - from rehab for drug addiction to creating a movement that encourages others to live with more intention, connection, and perspective. Now celebrating 23 years of sobriety, Mark has built gratitude into his daily life. He is the founder of Run Grateful, Your Town CIC, and the Daily Five app - a platform designed to promote wellbeing in simple, five-minute daily practices. In this conversation, we explore how gratitude became the one thing that stuck when nothing else did. Mark opens up about not being ready to change, how addiction can feel like a solution rather than a problem, and why gratitude isn’t about ignoring difficult thoughts and feelings. We also talk about the reality of showing up when you don’t want to, the importance of building evidence over time, and how small, consistent actions can begin to shift the direction of your life.
