In this episode of The Optimized Mind, Dr. Kate is joined by cross-genre author Martina Faulkner. The discussion focuses on the power of gratitude and its role as both a feeling and a practical tool. Martina shares insights on authentic versus performative gratitude, highlighting how gratitude is most powerful when it comes from within rather than being externally imposed or demanded. The conversation wraps up with reflections on gratitude as a pathway to shift from stressed, overwhelmed to a more peaceful, heart-centered state.
Martina E. Faulkner is a cross-genre author whose work focuses primarily on exploring what it means to be human—both the unique and the universal. She holds a trifecta in the mental health/healing world as a therapist, certified life coach, and Reiki Master Teacher. This distinctive background allows her to draw on her professional and personal experience in her writing, whether fiction, nonfiction, children’s, or poetry.
A self-proclaimed Anglophile, Martina drinks tea daily, loves walks in nature, and enjoys looking at beautiful images from the British Isles while dreaming up her next book. You can read her regular column (‘Unique and Universal’) on Substack, follow her on Instagram and Facebook (@martinaefaulkner), or visit martinaefaulkner.com to learn more.
