About Me
A Journey of Gratitude, Healing, and Purpose
Lauren Blanchard Zalewski is a writer, speaker, and passionate champion of all things gratitude. After living with chronic illness for over 20 years and reaching a deep personal rock bottom in 2013, she discovered that gratitude became the most powerful tool in her emotional healing journey.
Her year-long Gratitude Project in 2016 on Facebook transformed her understanding of how gratitude can bring hope, resilience, and joy even through life’s most difficult challenges. Since then, Lauren has dedicated her life to helping others experience the same transformation.
Building a Supportive Gratitude Community
Lauren is the founder of the Facebook group Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain (AoG) and several related support communities that provide tools, encouragement, and healing resources for people living with chronic emotional and physical conditions.
She also hosts the weekly live broadcast “Gratefully Living the Chronic Life,” streaming every Thursday at 8 PM EST on Facebook and YouTube, featuring expert guests and meaningful discussions about living life fully despite challenges.
Her mission is simple:
to spread gratitude as a powerful tool for resilience, hope, joy, and emotional healing.
