Blessed with a life of extraordinary experiences—and shaped by profound struggles—businesswoman and reality TV personality Kari Wells (Married to Medicine) offers a raw and radiant roadmap to emotional freedom in From Attitude to Gratitude. Born to a tough-love father and a fiercely protective Catholic mother in Yorkshire, England, Wells rose to the heights of success, gracing screens and society pages alike. But behind the spotlight were hidden battles: depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and the aching grief of unimaginable loss.

Blending memoir, spiritual insight, psychology, and practical wisdom, Wells shares 15 powerful practices to help readers transform pain into purpose. Her personal journey—through trauma, betrayal, and near-death moments—becomes a mirror for anyone facing struggles, overcoming pain or seeking clarity, meaning, and joy. Alongside candid stories and soul-deep reflections, she offers proven tools to rewrite limiting beliefs, reclaim personal agency, and embrace a life rooted in presence, forgiveness, and gratitude.

With reflective prompts, science-backed exercises, and her signature “Fundamental Five” daily habits, Wells gently guides readers beyond victimhood and into empowered living. Whether you’re healing from heartbreak or simply longing for more peace, this book is your invitation to see yourself clearly, live with intention, and discover joy in even the quietest moments.

From Attitude to Gratitude isn’t just a book—it’s a journey home to yourself.
