Our weekly program, Missouri State Journal, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and Missouri State University. It's hosted and produced by MSU's Office of Strategic Communication, and it airs each Tuesday morning at 9:45 on KSMU.
As we gather around the table this Thanksgiving, it’s the perfect time to reflect on gratitude — something we often hear about this time of year, but may not fully understand.
Gratitude goes beyond just saying "thank you" — it can profoundly impact our mental and physical health.
Dr. Kyler Sherman-Wilkins, associate professor of sociology and faculty affiliate in the gerontology program at Missouri State University, discusses how gratitude can positively impact mental and physical well-being.
