As the daughter of legendary broadcast journalist Joan Lunden, it seemed from the outside that Jamie had everything… so why did she feel so empty inside?
She pondered that question as she fell into a life of drug addiction, and when she hit her bottom, it hit her: nothing feels good until we get grateful… but we often don’t feel grateful until we have a wake-up call.
Each week, we tell stories of turning pain to purpose... shared by some of the most inspirational people on the planet.
Because an attitude of gratitude is the heartbeat of happiness... let's get there together.

Rewind: Nadia Ali | Dance Music’s Unlikely Superstar Reveals All, and… the Story Behind This Podcast’s Theme Song!
Monday, April 7, 2025 • Duration 01:11:17
If you’re a dance music fan like I am, you may have had your eyes (and ears) on the fact that last month brought us the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. I was actually floored to learn that it was the 25th anniversary of the festival.
Ultra has become THE benchmark for all things EDM - or electronic dance music - so when something special happens during one of the DJ sets… the world is watching.
Well… last week… something special DID happen.
Grammy-nominated dance music legend, Nadia Ali, took to the stage for the first time in 10 years with Alesso… and it. was. everything.
The response from the fans and EDM social media was bananas… and the whole thing was made even more special, because Nadia… is not only a friend, but she has a …very special connection to this podcast...
Every week, people comment on how much they love the theme song for this show. If you’ve been listening and wondering who sings the hauntingly beautiful lyrics… it's Nadia.
Nadia Ali grew up sheltered, sneaking out of her house to hit the nightclubs of New York City in her teens… but not to imbibe, like most kids her age. No, she was there for a different intoxicant: THE MUSIC.
Enamored by rhythm and sound, she vowed that one day it would be her voice emanating from the speakers. What she couldn’t have imagined was that when she finally achieved that dream, it would be SO MUCH BIGGER than she ever could have imagined.
Nadia’s career took her to some incredible places, and she shares her journey and insights today on the show, including her advice for stepping into your greatness and having confidence even when it seems impossible.
And, most excitingly (for us here at the pod, at least!), she’ll fill us in on the story behind the theme song that has taken us all by storm: the beautiful tune called MAZE which opens and closes this very podcast each and every week.

Infamous; Mean Girls: The Real Regina George Speaks For the First Time
Monday, March 31, 2025 • Duration 40:17
Today, we're doing things a little different here on Gratitudeology... we've done an "episode swap" with our pals over at the Campside Media crew and will be bringing you an episode of the show they produce in partnership with Sony, called Infamous. I'm personally a huge fan of the show, and this particular episode is a fun one that may just reframe the way you think about high school...
You probably know Tina Fey’s iconic camp masterpiece, Mean Girls—but do you know the real-life story behind the screenplay? In this episode, Vanessa and Natalie talk to Zoe Nightingale, the original Regina George, about high school. They also talk to Zoe’s sister, Rosalind Wiseman, a sociologist who wrote Queen Bees and Wannabees, the deeply-researched sociological tome that inspired the movie.
Ryan Dusick | Leaving Maroon 5 Helped Me Find Myself
Monday, January 27, 2025 • Duration 57:47
What if you got everything you thought you always wanted… then lost it all? How would you move forward? Would you live in regret? Depression? Victim mentality? Or would you find that maybe, just maybe, it would spur you to find the TRUE key to happiness in learning to let go, pivot, and reprioritize your life?
This is exactly what happened to Ryan Dusick, founding drummer from Maroon 5.
Founding the group “Kara’s Flowers” in 1994 (yup, that was the band’s name at first!) with best friends Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, and Mickey Madden, Ryan and his bandmates worked tirelessly for a decade before the group changed its name to Maroon 5 and finally recorded its first multi-platinum album Songs About Jane. Multiple hit songs, two Grammy awards, and 20 million albums sold later, Ryan found himself suffering and without direction, when his career as a performer came to an end, just as it was taking off.
After years of struggling with physical and mental health challenges, Ryan finally turned a corner in 2016, when he began his journey of recovery, culminating in a new life path full of meaning, purpose and fulfillment.
Curious about what he’s up to today? We sat with him on the heels of releasing his book, “Harder to Breathe: A Memoir of Making Maroon 5, Losing It All, and Finding Recovery” to hear more about his journey from aspiring pop star to global superstar to heartbroken alcoholic to thriving mental health survivor and messenger of hope, recovery, and a new take on GRATITUDE.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[03:26] Ryan shares what his childhood was like as a shy, high-achieving student and pinpoints the start of his anxiety and passion for music.
[08:58] Ryan recounts the story of why he chose to play the drums and how he met his future Maroon 5 bandmates.

Stella Grizont | From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Work Happiness Expert
Monday, December 16, 2024 • Duration 01:02:04
Do you ever look around and think: how does everyone else seem so happy? If this thought hits you now more than usual, you’re not alone. Did you know that - on average - upwards of 30% of adults in the US report to the American Psychiatric Association that their stress levels significantly increase during the holidays? And 55% of us report experiencing loneliness throughout the season.
Stella Grizont, named a leading happiness expert by Time Magazine, is a speaker and executive coach who helps leaders achieve career fulfillment and organizations enhance employee well-being. Some of Stella's corporate clients include Google, Johnson & Johnson, VMWare, and Genentech. Her unique approach to being happier and more engaged on the job has been featured on MSNBC, The Today Show, and Vanity Fair.
Growing up, Stella often felt out of place. With immigrant parents from Ukraine, it was hard for her to relate to typical American childhood experiences, leading her to immerse herself in schoolwork in a bid for independence and self-reliance. As the first in her family to attend college, Stella pursued what she believed to be her path: climbing the corporate ladder. However, she soon found herself feeling stuck. It took a recession, being laid off, and ending an engagement for Stella to hit rock bottom—but in that challenging time (when many would give up) she managed to find her light and start anew… and it inspired her to help the rest of us do the same.
Tune in as she discusses how to rediscover joy in your work, overcome burnout, and use life's toughest moments as stepping stones to a more fulfilling career and a more meaningful life overall.
