Add Heart Podcast

This ninety-fourth episode is an excellent way to sustain your own personal heart-practices. We also hope it will be a supportive tool for you to offer to your clients, patients and colleagues.

Ever wonder what happens to your physiology when gratitude goes deeper than just "thank you"?

Discover a space where gratitude becomes an experience – an uplifting feeling, an intuitive compass, and an antidote to our anxious and fear-saturated world.

In this special Add Heart Podcast episode, Deborah Rozman sits down with acclaimed filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg known for his amazing time lapse photography (e.g. Fantastic Fungi) to explore what was behind his award-winning film, Gratitude Revealed.

Louie shares how growing up with parents who survived the Holocaust imprinted a lens of everyday thankfulness—roof, food, family—that later shaped four decades of storytelling focused on resilience, wonder, and joy and culminated in Gratitude Revealed. He discovered how pausing for just a few minutes and finding things to be grateful for can quickly interrupt rumination and re-open your heart.

You’ll hear from Louie how Gratitude Revealed weaves values like forgiveness, curiosity, creativity, and compassion into a living portrait of what it means to integrate awe into daily life.

Louie introduces a captivating idea that is behind his next film which will be on Beauty. He sees beauty as a counterforce to the "attention battleground" going on in society today. When fear or anxiety hijacks our nervous system, beauty can meet it and help release it—by shifting us toward coherence, connection, and choices that make life flourish.

Deborah guides a brief heart-focused practice on gratitude you can use anytime—which synchronizes heart, mind and emotions to lift your vibration. In this episode, expect fresh, science-based insights (why gratitude builds resilience and bigger picture thinking), practical micro-moments of grateful you can have on a walk, and a renewed way of seeing life: from the light on a leaf to the miracle of your moving hands.

If you’ve ever thought you "should" be grateful, this conversation shows you how to feel it—and carry a gratitude card in your back pocket, ready whenever you need it.
