The Joy and Gratitude Podcast

”Joy and Gratitude” Through courageous and open hearted conversations, we drive self-reflection, create deeper level connections and provide a supportive community. We help individuals consider the power of choice and shift to the role of creator in all aspects of their lives. Can you live from the inside out? Focus on your inner wisdom and intuition? Beth Mercurio and Nio Queiro had one connection call that they can only describe as electric. From that moment on they knew they were going to collaborate and connect people. In sharing their stories they realized that their separate journey’s led them to understand the power of joy and gratitude and it’s impact on how we choose to live our lives each and every day. By finding joy in the small moments and acknowledging that which we are grateful for we are able to experience the power of presence and rejuvenation.
