FAQs
🌿 What is Gratitude Buddies?
Gratitude Buddies is an online platform and community where people grow together through shared gratitude, mindful connection, and skill exchange. We offer journaling tools, buddy-based courses, and meaningful ways to connect—especially during life transitions.
🌿 What’s a Gratitude Buddy?
Traditionally, a Gratitude Buddy is someone you share your gratitude practice with— a witness, accountability partner, and fellow traveler in noticing life’s small joys. When building a gratitude practice, you can invite someone you already know or join our platform to find a Buddy. We offer both courses and journals to support you in this practice.
On our platforms, Gratitude Buddies are also mindful skill swappers, who support one in another in building meaningful lives and livelihoods.
🌿 How does it work?
Once you sign up, you can:
Join our 7-day free course or try our 30-day buddy-based practice
Use our online journals—alone or with a Buddy
Swap skills or services with others who share your values
Connect in safe, mindful ways—at your pace, with intention
🌿 What are Skill Swaps?
Skill swaps are our way of bringing generosity into practice. Members offer and request support—from creative guidance to tech help, from language practice to mindfulness facilitation. While these swaps can ultimately help our businesses grow - and we know they do - they are also about mutual support, trust, and kindness.
🌿 Is this just about gratitude journaling?
No. Gratitude is the heart of the Gratitude Buddies platform - but our offerings go beyond. One one hand, we want to see our Buddies thrive through meaningful work and exchanges. On the other, we support them in building peaceful and resilient mindsets through change, loss, growth, and reinvention. We provide a space to connect, share what you know, and receive what you need.
🌿 Is Gratitude Buddies free?
Yes, you can join for free and access our 7-day course, community spaces, mindful networking and for the moment, make unlimited skill swaps. We soon hope to offer a paid version with expanded features.
🌿 Who is this for?
Anyone navigating transition, building a new habit, or seeking more grounded connection. We’re especially welcoming to expats, creatives, caregivers, solopreneurs, and people healing or rebuilding.
🌿 What makes this different from other platforms?
We blend personal growth with shared humanity. It’s not about hustle, and it’s not about surface-level positivity. Gratitude Buddies helps you grow through kindness, depth, and the belief that small joys can carry big change.
🌿 Can I read testimonials?
By all means., here they are. Some are for our courses and others for our skill swap.
